To be honest I was not expecting to get them when I made the offer. I was like Oh sh*** when he accepted and I had to send cash!

you think differently than I do...I would buy those, and run THEM, because they ARE nicked already, but still look very good, and they are "correct"....
and I'd save the other ones you have for "show", or when/if you decide to sell the bike.
of course, these are just my thoughts...you do as you wish.
motojason:
I would agree with your thinking if I did not already have a set of new Nightmare Racing shrouds with new decals on them. I will have to 'settle' for using those on the bike when it is ridden. This project is already making my wallet light!
