I'd pay a fiver but £17.50 for a bit of rubber!!!

Are you aware of the costs involved ?
R&D ?
Making the mould ?
Materials ?
Sourcing the parts ?
Advertising ?
P&P costs ?
Time ?


These parts do not just grow like apples on trees ;)

Sounds like a quote from yer mate Dave Silver Trig  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Does anyone have a set of NOS HM300 pipes they can sell me? I'm only prepared to pay £125 plus post...

Seriously, a lot of time and effort had gone into producing what is an obsolete part. £17.50 is a bargain.

How many sets do you want James? Chris in Japan says he can get you as many as you want for that price.
They are for this Model: ;D

hi Trigger,

 as a user of one of your excellent steel clutch pushrod,(CB500) ,I had to remove the drive cover the other day,and found
the push rod seemed to magnetic !!  the little ball bearing was on its end,instead of deep in the actuation mech,

on assembly I greased the hole and pushed the ball back,


 if it happens again,just a warning as it would be a pain to loose the steel ball,

Cheers for the feedback John. I tested the rod over 3,000 miles and had no problems. Not sure how the silver steel rod has become magnetised but, if you lose the ball I will send you another FOC.
