Yes Zed_Power sell them as a kit, I send them off for BZP as the pattern ones are a tad Yellow/Gold.

Looking nice there Mike

Well done - some good detailing going on there fella :wink:

Any tips or ideas on getting a red hazard button like that one??

My 650 one has faded to a pinky color in that USA sunshine it used to get.

Cheers from Mark
