    Chrome is the answer in my opinion. Keep an eye on eBay and I am sure you will find them all eventually. It took me about three weeks and the sprocket cover came from the USA? Look out for scratches and marks though, they need to be as new. Sold two of the originals as well which got me some money back so it has not cost me a fortune to do. A real fun exercise.
    Like that Enfield in the pic. Certainly different.

    Nice looking bike.
    I like the rear shocks, nearly went for them myself.
    You just need to fit fork gaiters now to finish off the retro look.

    They are on my list. Are they easy to fit?? I am no mechanic.

    Relatively easy, I fitted them when I upgraded to progressive springs and changed the fork oil.
    Brake caliper off.
    Mudguard off
    Wheel out,
    Carefully tap off the plastic stone protectors.
    Undo the yoke pinch bolts.
    Remove one fork leg
    Fit the gaiter
    Re-fit the leg.
    Repeat for the 2nd leg
    Re-assemble everything else, job done.
    They look great.

    Thanks for info. May get the local dealer to fit them, bit beyond my capabilities I think.

    Don't be paying any more than 2 hours labour.
    OEM Gaiters are £35pr including clips.
