Holy Crap  :o :o :o :o

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  :-\

The only triple jumps he would have been doing are the hop, skip & jump.

I got outbid on another NOS RH one about 3 months ago, it went for only a shade over $200, the seller (if he gets paid) will be well pleased with what they went for.

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)..

Yeah, I know.  You need to sell a lot of sets to recover your investment.
I have thought about it for a heap of plastic items, but I don't have any experience in manufacturing  :-\

What about China ??

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!

Steveo, you ought to talk to Scott from VMX Plastics if you're serious.
He's got the gear, the contacts and the knowledge.
