    I understand, but since the distance and extra costs to send everything overseas and unavailability here in the Netherlands.

    I would be willing to pay for the drawings and promise to only use them for my own bike.
    The other option it dismantling my own bike and drawing my own, which only takes more time while these have been tested and proven.

    Another option is trying a groupbuy from the VFROC guys here where we can buy several sets which may be better for both parties.

    You can get them from Greece for about 30 bucks. I did this on my ST1100 and was going to make my own. Then I figured how much time I would spend making them the way I wanted (and how much my time is worth) and realized 25 bucks sounded like a bargain.

    I got one of his kits last week. Easy job to do while your checking valve clearance.

    You don't need the plates - they're for sure nice to have. If it's costly to get the plates where you are, then just use vacuum caps on the PAIR cover ports and it's functionally the same thing, just not as clean an install.
