I've no idea if anyone's found them before, but I've finally turned some up, in Italy of all places.

They do quite a range of bits if you want to turn your R-R into an ersatz GS.

I would never do it but I have to say that I am impressed with the modifications. I am surprised that the company is making these parts for a bike that was put out 17 years ago.

They're very (dare I say it!) "hipstery".

Well - have ordered (i hope) a pair - we'll see what they're like when they arrive.

That reminds me of the last time I took my Triumph T90 down to the Council Yard for an MOT.
They put webbing straps tightly around the gaiters, to hold the bike still - for a brake test iirc. They ripped the gaiters- but it did pass the test.
Fortunately new ones were pretty easy to fit, if you managed to avoid ripping the chrome off the large nuts on top of the yoke.

They do some interesting things to change the look of the bike. I thought the grill that replaced the oil cooler covers were a neat idea. For me, I like the look of the R pretty much the way it was designed so I'm probably not a customer, but as has been said, glad to see someone making products for the older machines which seem otherwise to have been abandoned by the aftermarket world.

Yeah, I liked those. Make good mountings for tank panniers.
