I have a set of OEM panels as well but they are "wrong" for the bike, I bet the original exporter/importer just threw a decent set of SE panels on it when it should have been a standard bk/red set.
Anyway the OEM panels need repair work before they are fit to be used, as well as a new coat of paint, so the Cadalora China set are a stand-in set for now (originally in the hope to put some miles under the wheels during 2020) The long term plan was to have a road set for "best" and the Cadalora set for track days...
I think the replica set are excellent value for money and honestly about 95% right...nit picking there is occasionally a little less than sharp lines here and there and the top cowl has green overspray on the inside which is a shame (I'll mask it up and blow the back in black) but you would be hard pushed to spot anything unless I pointed it out...I hope one day to be able to introduce the bike to you in person Les, once this madness is all over.
