Is there any decent remade Series 1/2 bodywork out there, particularly rear footboards or legshields?

I was told by a well respected dealer that a lot of remade s2 legshields are Indian and taper in at the top like GP ones so beware! (you probably know this and this is why your asking!).

Mind you he was trying to sell me a s2 at the time - haha

They're a bit rough Ric, but I'm just weighing up the costs and quality compared to repairing and the finish that can be achieved with what I have :-?

I think I was told the Winter Model leggies are nearer to Series 1 than Series 2 for shape and fit.

i thought s1 and 2 leggs were the same :wtf: but if they come spare let me know ,that said i kind of like the api ones

edit ...btw ...non spanish will have the fixed mudgard mounts so you will need to remove these

I thought they were the same too, but although they look the same and fit the same, I believe there are subtle differences. The Eibar ones are different around the bridge plate area.
