Default WTD: 900 'waterfall' radiator grille

Yes thats right, I'm after a 'waterfall' grille for my 940 to replace the eggcrate one currently fitted. It wouldn't originally have had the eggcrate fitted, and I want to return it to its original look.

The waterfall grille must be absolutely mint with no scratches etc as it'll stand out like a sore thumb otherwise. I know they are still available new, but IIRC they are nigh on £200!

Oh, and sorry, but I won't be selling the eggcrate grille - thats going into my 'useful spares' collection

Thanks as always

Rolling Thunder do you mean the chrome alternative to the egg crate one?

Never heard it called the waterfall grille!

Hi all, sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I've been away on hols.

Griston, yes that's the one I'm after. What condition is it in? And how much would you want for it (including postage to Doncaster)?

Many thanks

No longer required due to a (drastic!) change of plans thanks.
