a sort of black vernished hard platic, leather and metal... I've mine since one and a half year now and the black finish is impacted in two place showing the white plastic lying under... Not an happy bunny after having paid 100 € for that !

I will ask my dealer if he can do something about that !!!

That's a shame - its a lovely knob

I've not got any marks whatsoever on mine (yet!!); seems quite durable to me.

Try "Transform Leather" (UK) ...

In addition to "luverly" leather interiors, they have a couple of 'unique' knobs ! ...

Cold aluminium............i will need a glove in winter

Unknownsoldier · 25th June 2008, 09:32

or do what a mate has done and buy a 'Mugen tank cover' (a wooly sock thing.....) looks reasonable too

I'm still in two minds (well three....):

A). This one; http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWA:IT&ih=005

B). This one; http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...063782255&rd=1

Or

C). Attempt a retrofit complete R set (asked some breakers about buying the gaitor surrund and knob as a unit..... also found one with a NHB Type R spoiler of a wreck

).

Not sure, but probably option 2......

Tom,

at about £35 from the US, this is a fair bit cheaper than buying one in the UK!
