Well there is your answer Geoff, get Marco to take some close up pics of the tank & side panels, we have the templates for the chain & TENERE.

You also have the colours on the nose fairing to do an exact match. :shades:

Get two sets of side panel graphics made, Marco`s need replacing.

Notice the word TENERE is two tone (red/yellow) our TENERE template has the divide in the wording.

Mezo.

Thanks for that Marco..... I knew I'd seen one on here somewhere.... :thumb:

It was a UK model, I've had an old brochure sent by Yamaha which I was gonna post on here but I can't convert it to an image .... I've emailed it to the forum guru...
