Front indicator stems look wrong, should be same as H2?
The footpeg rubbers on a UK one should be solid and not have the bolt and washer through them?

I am not an authority on tank decals so this is only my opinion as these are the only colours that I have seen S2 stripes.

Hey Adrian, you're back! :D
So put us out of our misery, are the stripes correct (orange/blue as per the brochure)?
