I have just fitted some to my 550, seemed to be good quality and service was good. Bike stood due to covid so no long term data.
Love the 500 and 550 have a 500 called Lazarus under restoration

Thanks Mick   By the response I've had,  they can't be popular.  I know the subject was mentioned before but nobody actually rated them as good or bad quality Hence my question ??  But at least you've tried them and seem to be ok  Have you had the bike running yet ? Still with the saving in price i may give them a go after all its not going to be a daily rider  again thanks

I have had it running but only in the garage but so far so good. When i ordered them i had a choice of cruzing image or imd, and made my choice for these as they were uk based. I had my rebore done by Trigger and he seemed to think they were ok.

A good friend of mine runs a motorcycle engineering company building engines for classic air cooled superbikes (one producing 185 hp!) and he uses IMD and tells me that he has used them some time and recommended them, that'sgood enough for me

I have used them a few times and they have been spot on.
Had a few ring sets from them and a set of pistons for the Z650.
