I really hope it was someone that is going to make moulds and use them to get the correct colour blue. I don't have an IT, but I think that is the kind of thing NOS plastics should be used for (prior to putting it on a bike). Goes without saying that they don't make 'em anymore - but someone should ::). Proper injection moulded ones that are identical to the real thing :-\

on that note, if anyone out there is looking to colour match the IT blue - I've got a couple of NOS IT400C petrol tanks that have lived their entire lives inside the original Yamaha boxes (no colour fading)..

I have thought about it for a heap of plastic items, but I don't have any experience in manufacturing :-\

What about China ??

Post by: steveo247 on October 12, 2012, 08:37:26 pm: that was china!
uk was next at about 6k.

Ive got none either, so i went through some friends of friends who are in the industry.

I want some DG octopus hand grips, i bid an absurd amount on a set on ebay and missed them - the only set ive ever seen for sale.
to get some made in the design is about 2k!

He's got the gear, the contacts and the knowledge.
