Looks like it's gonna be a bike auto jumble for that part Roger, unless one comes up on ebay. You might have to refurb' yours if nothing else turns up.
Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" :x they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".

These radiator bars seem to be a bit of a rare beast, took me ages to locate a secondhand one, and then it still needs re chroming.

Might Email them & see if they can help me !

I had to buy a really tatty one and have it straightened then re chromed through Baz.
I think your best chance to find one is through eBay USA and Canada.
I found some on there after I had started the process on mine. :roll:

And yes, I know there's one there, but it was on when I bought the bike - honest!!
