Questions for DSS

[JamesH]

hi to all, a question for dss, would it be possible to remanufacture via an engineering co?, new rear luggage racks for the cb400f/550/etc as i think it would be a good seller? as they are like hens teeth! rare!!. thanks honstan3.

Would also be good to ask the same about repro cb750 rear grab rails ash...

Hi Ash,

HM341's : Every previous ETA has been exceeded because more and more problems keep presenting themselves. Chinese made moulds, Italian producers, thankfully not my project. I have been led to believe first prototype is almost ready for test fit then we are about 8 weeks away.

Best Regards

quick comment about DSS ,

I ,like most of us ,use them alot,more than I want to,but always the service is great,

I am having a summer refurbish at present , so new air filter ,pads etc,

on removing the rear wheel, I found one brake shoe brake material was 60% unglued,so a quick call to DSS,and about 36hrs later
they arrived,
the part is PH316,

my comment is that the shoes need about an hours work to finish them,the cam end are to wide to fit on the cam,the pivot end ,again
is to wide to allow the fitting plate and split pin to fit,

just minor bug bares,but maybe if the casting is to tighter tolerances,

Even brake shoes you have had to mod its not on they should fit.If it were me I would send them back and look elsewhere

I had a similar problem with some cb550 aftermarket shoes from Wemoto. Dont think this is confined to dss..

Why can i get HM 323 exhausts from Holland but not from DSS.

[Trigger]

What i was trying to say Oddjob is that CMS sell pattern ones made by the original supplier. So why is DSS doing these kind of deals. 

[JamesH]

Graham, what is the price of the repro set from cmsnl? I can only see the pipes listed individually at €600 a pipe - so €2400 for a set?

[Trigger]

James, it is 1,694 euros + the vague addition to the total. And i think you will find that one of the pipes is 900 euro, so 2,700 a set

I've posted this before - I really like this guy's presentation style so it deserves another airing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2W68pThPCc

You might say there's not a lot in these exhausts for the money...

[JamesH]

James, it is 1,694 euros + the vague addition to the total. And i think you will find that one of the pipes is 900 euro, so 2,700 a set

Jesus - so are the repros stamped as the originals or un stamped?
