Hello from Iowa

Thank you all for your warm welcomes and for the information you have shared. Sorry that I am just now replying. I have been trying to somewhat unplug from the internet and social media and trying to enjoy life. I have decided to repaint the bike during winter. It was tribal or age from the factory and I was not a fan on it.
 

STOP!
If that was your R3 you are referring to you may have committed sacrilege.

A simple mention would have a drove of us clamouring to swap our pristine whatevers for a set or even some components of the Orange Tribal tins. I'm possibly shattered waiting on your reponse, say it hasn't happened yet PLEASE!

How many members have Tribal Orange tins?

So did you get your screen and luggage already?
 
No screen yet but I have the luggage figured out. They have not been sand blasted yet but the rims are off the bike.

Are you referring to the wheels being sand blasted?
What about the Orange Tribal painted tins and parts? I have side covers and Flyscreen already but would love front and rear guards and Tank etc. if you would be prepared TO SELL/SWAP I'm keen.

I have a Phantom Black set of undinged tins that came off a 6mth old R3R '10, when the owner fitted a custom White pearl set he had painted up. And another set off my own R3R '10 as I have PB with Red Stripes on it at the moment

What color were you planning to go?

I just had an 'as new' Roadster screen with fork fixing kit show up in my mail today if your keen to include it in a deal.

That US eBay one for US$250 looks to have gone and did not have the Fork Fixing kit clamps with it.
These are sold separately here in Australia for Au$135 but have been discounted in the US lately.

Sorry about the typo above, it is supposed to say tins not rims. All the tins are still orange with the tribal on them. I am planning to go a dark rock moss green with some flake in it. I have the paint and everything already purchased. Just waiting on it to warm up some so that it doesn't cost and arm and a leg to heat the shop while doing the project. Where are you located?
 
Australia mate, but don't let that stop you I have sent many brand new TORs exhausts and Used screens around the world including USA and Russia etc. I have bought a few guards and bits like heads etc from the USA before too and a brand new red stripe tank from the UK so know what freight can cost both ways.

Another Aussie member and mate of mine @Mittzy sent a set of Tins to @Rocket Scientist last year in the USA too, so I will see how he sent them and cost estimate.
