    Would probably be wasted on a standard Bonnie, they would have to be on a custom or special paint job, although not my taste I can admire the skill in and workmanship.

    Seems strange to ebay it, but maybe they want to get a feel for what someone would pay for it for future products. Mind you, 200 man hours, that's 25 days, can't see it being worth their while

    I think they would look great on a customised Bonny - or even serve for the inspiration to customise a std. Bonny.

    There's a lot of work gone into these but, from a distance, it looks like a bad hammerite job.....

    Pointless exercise on my opinion. Spend the money on fuel and ride the bike.

    Well I reckon someone is going to buy them, put them on a customised Bonny and you'll all be saying how beautiful they look :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Looks like acid etching to me.
    Not my thing on a bike, I am sure a good British winter would take its toll and reduce the engraver to tears.
    Seems like an awful lot of man hours, where were they engraved H.M.P. ?

    It does look like the pattern you got on the wallpaper in 70s|80s Indian resturants !

    You're right, the more I look at it the worse it gets.
