George wrote: ↑Wed Jul 01, 2020 6:41 pmDepends on what price do you find reasonable. What I can tell you is that these kits are made in 2020, using the same process as back in the day and made by the original manufacturer. So not only authentic, but it'll be like new. This will come at a price as these are fiberglass components that are done by hand and they take time, gelcoat, trimming etc. I will have to ask about the price as they were supposed to raise the price in July because of the prices for the materials that are going up. There was a high demand for the perplex used to manufacture masks and till screen protectors. So everything is in short supply or expensive to get.Bluenose Rab wrote: ↑Tue Jun 30, 2020 10:53 pmRecently bought a C90-G, 1988, square headlight. Would love a Rickman fairing and screen, just like back in the day. A rear rack would be good too. Been combing eBay, Gumtree, Preloved, Schpock, but found nowt.
Is it possible to get these things these days at a reasonable price?
George, I have just bought a 1998 c90 kick-start and would love a Type 23 fairing, square headlight.George wrote: ↑Fri Nov 20, 2015 11:54 amYup! They still make these! This is why you still find these on eBay from time to time and they look like NOS but the seller keeps adding more!
So since I change blades/screens whenever I need to clean them usually by throwing them to the bin, I've decided to get in touch with the supplier and see if they still make them and if so, how cheap are they? After a few phone calls, got in touch with them.
On eBay you can get them from 100 to 150 pounds.
Ok... here is what I've got:
- I can get one for £70 + VAT (£84 VAT included).
- I can get ten for £65 + VAT/kit (£78 VAT included).
If I collect that's it... if not, there is a courier charge of £10 + VAT (£12 VAT included)/kit.
For 10 kits, the courier charge is £15 + VAT (£18 VAT included for all ten so £1.8 per kit to get them to me).
The price is per kit and the kit includes the clear screen, the white fairing and the fixing brackets to get it on the bike... so that means it is a complete kit.
PS: I have asked for the C90G fairing kit which are all the C90 from 1984 till 2002 or 2003 which ever year was the last year of production for the UK.
I'm not looking for any profit. These are the exact prices that the supplier gave me and I pass them on.
They don't have an internet site.
If there is interest for them, I might buy in bulk. If not, I will get 2 for me and 1 for Sean.
PPS: I think I can get them to supply me the C90 square headlamp with the indicator holes closer to the middle., and the C90E? Round headlamp 6V as well. I did not ask, but will do if anyone needs these types.
Cheers,
George M.
Think it's £118.80 now but still a bargain if George can't supply. Silver's delivery charge seems suspiciously cheap at £6!

So I won't be able to help anyone with complete kits or fittings for the Type 23 square headlights for a while till they sort out a supplier for the fittings. I can get the white farings and clear screens still so if you need a replacement for the two, I can send one out your way.
Will come back when they are available to order. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi George - are you still able to source front screens - my bike is a 1997 square headlight C90 with narrow chrome indicators.
Thanks, Will.
