Chinese from Auctmarts.com

They take a mould from the originals and then remake them in ABS plastic as per same materials as standard, Couch has also had the headlight holes filled in by them to make them into semi-race fairings but with standard fittments.

Yup as weeksy says above, they were £340 all in. Plus around £100 import duty. Struggle to get paint for that here
