What about material; what is your opinion or feelings?Yes they do the side panels for the F series and they sell them separately which is useful because it's always the oil tank panel which splits 'cos of owners having to check the oil tank level every week.
The left hand panel on the F2 is different from the F1, but happily they make both types.
Only downside maybe is that the plastic material is Polyurethane, they're certainly well finished and fit well, I'm just a little concerned about possible paint adhesion issues
I got a pair for my F1, very happy with them, I'm fairly sure they are the same ones that DS stocks the same ones, they were out of stock so bought direct and saved a few quid too!
Use adhesion promoter of the same paint scheme you use for the primer, base coat and lacquer and you'll be fine, that's how I did my seat hump, I have another seat that I might paint as the plastic of the one I've done isn't 100% smooth, need a bit more High build primer then take a bit more time with the preparation.
I haven't painted my side panels yet as I need to get another can of promoter, they're satin black I think on the F1.

Searched for Honda Phantom black and coldn't find any hits other than the bike model Honda Phantom, hits for modern Triumph bikes and Seat cars.

Thanks that looks like a dark metallic grey?

I've got to admit that I've never actually managed to find a side panel that hasn't been over painted, not even a cracked one.
My best find so far has been a 750F (or F0 if you must) tank in original Flake Sunrise Orange.
Pity about the dent in the top.
Also I've got a seat tail piece in Candy Sapphire Blue from the same year.
But original unmolested side panels seem to be as rare as hens teeth.
