I have had the same dilema for the past few weeks. Drives you nuts :? In the end I went for low level Carbon Can Company, road legal oval stainless, brand new for £220. If you check on ebay, there are some available at the moment. CCC are now selling on ebay direct for nearly half the price they ha...

What forks and shock set up have you got?

There is a Pyramid hugger fitted already. And I've just bought a bellypan off Ebay like this one http://www.abercon.co.uk/~neilr/pix_vtr/hi-mount1.jpg

Anyone know the make?

Everything else is original.
