Simon, if you get chance before fitting, could you tell me what material it's made of please. Does a magnet stick to it?
Thanks...Found their FB page...bit of an "ouch" price 100euros....oh well
Trouble is Ted the milky colour could just as easily have been water trapped inside the U shape slowly corroding the metal inside the plastic. I honestly don't know, all I do know is that is the way they looked after a few years.I do know mine were fitted to a brand new tank and within less than a year the clips were so rusty you could see dirty rust water coming out of the trim. I lent the bike to the BIL for a week, he wanted to show off on it. It came back with the tank trim in a carrier bag, I was really annoyed at him, you don't start mucking with a bike belonging to someone else even if it is family. He explained he was concerned at the amount of rust he could see and didn't want it getting any worse. You could see all the scratch marks caused by the clips on a brand new tank, they'd all started to rust. I ended up selling the tank trim set to Graham as I didn't want to refit it due to the rust problems it was causing. I don't mind the trim, I just thought I should warn others of the problems fitting a set can cause.
Pampered, as in never washed? As that’s a source of water to get into the moulding, unless of course you use a dryer to remove it but would that remove all of it? Not saying don’t buy the trim, I’m saying find an alternative method of attaching it.
