Well thanks for the welcome FB - I think ...! I seemed to have lost my registration or the forums changed or I am even more confused than usual , any way back for a lurk . Sold my Silver NB to Mark and Ebayed the Black RS ( Really Special or possibly really Sh!te) and got rid of all my spares etc . managed quite well for a bit but like malaria its returned & I am feeling the need for a SD again.... Prices for decent examples seem to have taken a hike on Ebay - I have a history of selling stuff the week before the value starts to climb but will watching out for a suitable bike - hope for a McVities colour schemed kicker - here's hoping . Now get back to work . What about this candidate then Bojer?
Surely one for you to work your magic on....?

Bojer!! Welcome back. Just in time for the " big reveal" very soon. Finally got the missing piece of the jigsaw ( NOS rear wheel) thanks to FB so will be bolting things back together this week. Loving the fact you're on the hunt for another SD. I hear FB's got a 'barn find' which he keeps undercover. It's a bit tatty just how you like 'em Our Bojer would not be interested in that - there is no allen key in the tool kit.
It's a candidate for the scrapper.

LOL - you remember ! Too subtle sometimes me .... Yep , Boycie had the silver one and I went round his house afterwards - was like stepping into a 1980 Honda showroom , is he still about ? Thanks for the Ebay link FB but that makes my "RS" look mint ! Would like to get something half decent - much like the blue one , accepting a "GSX" mudguard and a Motad are likely to be fitted but otherwise standard . Need to sort my garage out a bit first - it's not improved any and I have a BSA I am sick of the sight of to move too. Well done Mansell - so get off the pc and get back in the cold garage - I'll look forward to seeing the result!

I forgot about the RS............I remembered Janice and the blue kicker which you regretted selling - had an invader fitted as well.
The RS was a sheep in wolfs clothing - or was it the other way around?
Re: Boycie. He is on here but doesn't speak........I think he sold all his SD's and went after more modern rockets.

I'd like to forget about the "RS" too - unpolishable turd that it was - I should have listened Yep , the blue one came with a colour matched Invader fairing and all behaved well and was a sound basis , so I sold it ! I'll keep watching Ebay and see what comes up , if I get the chance think I'd like to buy a bit "better" but will have to see.

Well Ow do young Bojer!!!! Glad to have you back in the fold mate!!!!
Yep - you sold the Invader to me.......it got fitted once - just about - and I couldnt get the bloody mirrors to work properly with it, so it promptly came off again..............FB has it now!!! Part of his growing collection of fairings.
I hear he is on the lookout for a full-sized Rickman to put on the 'Undercover'.......

Boycie still might have your silver one..... I wonder ...... , will see if I can find him and try a PM , the colours I was thinking of but the silver one would be good...http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-CB250-super-dream-1980-MOT-GWO/111573450781?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140122125356%26meid%3Dfdf1ed4e57cf47059db53bd60b748dbf%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D6%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D161565310138&rt=nc Ah , Hi GB , did not recognise you there ! I saw FB had an invader did not realise it was that one , I should have paid more attention but I don't think it had mirror mods. to fit originally - maybe non oem mirrors , will try for a pic with it fitted . Chance of being made redundant next month which ironically might get me some spending money

Hang on just a sec....
I indeed have a blue invader gracing my lock up.......
But I was under the impression that this came to GB via Mansell?
Am I right. am I wrong or am I just dreaming?

The decal was long gone before I took ownership....
Can you show me a pic of the screen?
The blue one I have seems to have had a non standard screen fitted - the trim (from my silver one) did not fit around it.

Nick - the one I gave you IS the one Bojer sold me. And I have the trim for the surround here for when I see you next I had RMM from Mansell, but no Invader..........

Ah.......that explains a lot.
I think what confused me is the fact that I saw RMM wearing this fairing - I assumed it was picked up from Mansell with it fitted. This is the problem with having a photographic memory - not always a good thing.
