  1. Hi

    does anybody know which Hailwood Replica this is from please?

    … or point me in the direction of someone selling them?

    cheers

  2. Looks like Pantah to me ?
     
  3. thanks Paddy - the guy selling it swears it’s Mike Hailwood but doesn’t know much more. Is there a site where I might be able to compare it to a Pantah?
     
  4. If its MHR then with the curved panel over the shock its going to be Mk1, ie it would go with the fibre glass tank cover so the first 200. always hard to say with reps as they are not usually exact copies.
     
  5. I’ve found this one at Mdina for a MK1… 24E4A706-B0F3-44FF-80F4-B19CD33F4A6A.jpeg
     
  6. My 1980 MHR Mk 1.5 (it's for sale BTW...)

  7. thanks. Did they vary a lot with the 1983? (I’m assuming an ‘83 is a MK3?)
     
  8. I think that they were pretty much the same until the frame changed, at least. This '85 Mille looks the same to me...

  10. Would you mind sending some measurements please when you get a chance? Overall length, height, width etc if possible?

    are you advertising your bike anywhere?

    cheers

  11. Here you go Niall, advert.

    I'll measure up my tail section in the morning.
     
  12. :cool: Thanks.

    The bike looks great!
     
  13. Note that the seats on later bikes with side panels have a lip into which the side panel fits. The 79 through early 81s did not have the lip or the lugs on the frame to attach panels. Mike's bike did not have side panels. My 81 followed by an 83:

  14. MHRat: the unpainted seat you pictured earlier looks a lot like the one on my early 81. The Mk1, Mk2 thing is confusing as there were some subtle differences in between the early years. A better pic:

    Thanks for all your help.
