I have a pair of black (silver line) RL6000's and they have no lettering whatsoever.

Can't be sure if the straps are original, but judging from the rest of the lot I got there, the PO's wouldn't have paid a dime to replace them. Silver lettering on a light grey strap doesn't sound too plausible either, so perhaps B&O just dropped the lettering altogether with the new colours to avoid having several strap types in the inventory. That would support having only "blank" replacements as well.

Original RL60's, owned since new -

Sounds like a nice project !

I currently have a pair of white design RL140's here.
They have a silver line around the cabinets (where the more common black speakers have a red line).
The straps read "RED LINE 140" in the same red as the others.

Hi Martin,

Ive never seen the 140s in white

sounds like i may have to do you a bespoke set with Black lettering if you think they would suit them more

When will the straps be available? Any idea of the selling price yet?

Price hasnt been a factor yet im just trying to get as close a match as possible and figure out every printing variation

Im still working on the text for these,

can anyone tell me if RL45 reads either RL 45 or RED LINE 45 on the originals ?

thanks

Dunno if this helps Jay, but this is how the original straps on my 60.2's look like. I presume these are a very early pair as the crossover has been built on chipboard, the later ones have real PCB's as far as I know.
