Hi Pete,

Sorry I've not posted on this before. I've been off-line! I'll upload the pictures you asked for in a bit. I've just got to convert them to jpeg, as the site won't let me upload them in bitmap format

To those people who are suggesting that the guy simply painted factory fenders white, take another look at the second picture of the three posted by Pete a page or so back. It's the one with the front view! You can actually see the decals through the plastic of the tank shrouds! There's no way you'd be able to do that if they were painted.

Also, why stop at just painting the shrouds and rear plastic? Why not finish the job and do the headlight shell and front fender? For me, these are the real deal!

Cheers,
Jez

I agree The Fender's are - Authentic Honda Parts -

if you look at these parts diagram pictures from my 250r parts manual, you`ll see that the 87 r decals were a different shape from the 86.

Thank you for posting the diagrams. Now maybe some nay-sayers will start to have some faith.

Wow.

I totally overlooked that. Those are the real deal, y'all. It's impossible for light to pass through painted plastic. This just keeps getting better and better.

An excellent point was made about the sun shining through the plastic. Look at the rad. shrouds in this pic:

Oh Boy...I bet Pete'sATC really has some incredible stuff to show us one of these days!!

I can't wait! Keep me on your PM list Pete!
