1996 850R "Brünnhilde"

jamesinc

Yeah they are coming from Elwood. Will post pics when they get here!

The seats don't look half bad! Didn't know you can replace 850 seat skins though. Be good for me with 850 seats in my Wagon. .

jamesinc

From a distance they look okay, but the seat bottoms are well worn. They have also been patched previously and it is very noticeable.

AshDVS

Are you getting entire new skins, James?
Or simply new bottoms?

jamesinc

New bottoms. Will do the backs later. Purely a $$$ thing.

AshDVS

Yep. Understand completely. Take some pics when you're done.

That lightweight cover is taking valuable weight off the front wheels!
No matter for Rob I Spose , well , that Starsky and Hutch look with jacked up arse would give good traction!

jamesinc

I need to find some nice clean stainless valve cover screws to offset it.

Rob

word :)>-

Ex850R

Brass would look good too.....

CamZH

can get these from IPD:

jamesinc

I want silver ones, which I believe they also sell.

Ex850R

Polish the existing ones and clear coat them?

AshDVS

They look a little 'fruity' with the R logo on them for my liking, but I'm a plastic/rubber valve cap person too.
I have a contact that does titanium fasteners (typically for motorsports/speedway use) if you want something like that.

jamesinc

Well my engine is missing two of them anyway, so I thought I would just order the billet aluminium ones from IPD. Is anyone doing an order soon? I could in theory make my own now that I have a lathe.

Nearly was able to grab some 2.5" unobtainium tube second hand on a job but the boss nabbed it , bastard , nice exhaust that wouldve made...

Will look good in raw aluminium or a darker colour I would think.
Colours and finishes are very personal things (much like preference for a particular wheel style), so you really shouldnt listen to anyone elses opinion (because it is just an opinion!) and roll with what you like.

I dont like chrome and I dont like woodgrain - that isnt to say they're 'bad', just that I dont like them!

Indeedy.
I actually dont even know what thread these are. Once I've had a look I might look at what I can get that'll work in titanium fasteners.

Here's a pretty good site for fasteners -
