Soz, I forgot Ken A pair of ears, I've had it with ebay and Hermes can get stuffed as well, they've been nothing but hassle getting that replacement frame down to me from my nephew after he collected it from Phil a while ago. Its been lost for 10 days but after a seriouse hissy fit at them on the phone this morning I had some info and I've located it in a petrol station 'drop off' point in Barnsley of all places after it was dropped at the depot by my nephew in Wakefirld! WTAF?? where it stayed at the back of the shop because somebody said it was too heavy to lift and pulled the H&S card so left it on the shelf. Even though it's within their 15kg limit and it has already gone from Wake'y to Barnsley. And it was paid for, insured, next day..........that was two weeks ago!Sorry rant over. .........Basically if I can source most of what I need on here then I will because I'm sick of getting hidden charges or just simply f*ckwittery thrown in at the last minute or by UK customs Border Nazi's taking the piss. There seems to be a weekday rule and a friday afternoon rule where they just think of a number and stick it on as an invoice but don't tell you until they've had it for a week or two and then try the storage charge number on you......"Nope, send it back then" has been the reply on several occasions and they do or simply deliver it anyway. I'm on a 70-30% success rate but if you need it, you need it so have to cough up. In short, if I can benefit somebody on here I'd rather do that and buy their parts, I'm better off, they reduce their shiney pile to allow for more hoarding room and all the folk on here aren't a bunch of swines happy to milk you dry!I hope
LMAO, after that rant I'm still none the wiser. I knew you meant a pair of fork ears but for what bike, that's what I meant.
Genuine in good condition F2 ears are really hard to source. There is a pair for sale on Ebay in Germany, around £120 for a pair IIRC. I have a couple NOS, and a couple of decent second hand ones, TBH I'm not sure which I'm going to use on my bike, I had one rechromed recently and the chromer made more of a mess than it was before, I only asked for it top have the chrome removed but they must have misheard my instructions, when it came back it was all scratched on the back of the tube, the chromes decent but I can't have that on my bike, must look again and see what it looks like.It's not only the ears it's the indicator stems as well, also rare as hens teeth. You need both to use them properly.
There's these on there too but not at that postage and especially when they fleece you on the way in as theyre new to me. They dont seem to care of the condition now, you get charged for the lot by the customs thiefs.ebay ref......284555045337
