The postman came today. Don’t you love it when he brings something shiny. If I outbid you for this beauty then I don’t apologise at all 😂😂 [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

😎😎😎 is that real chrome, they look very, very, very shiney.

Put your shades on before looking too closely...that is very shiny. Now you won;t be able to ride in the damp/wet/vaguely possibl;e chance of moisture for fear of dulling the finish

You out bid me !  are they DS or genuine ones , the guy didnt know.

I do have one shinny set but need another set by the spring and then I got another 400 f which will be a special (Delkevic) and I'll soon do report on here.  Yes I've got 3 of 400/f  and a GPZ400  !!!

Outbid me too. And got. Outbid on the other set I bid on as well. Need a set so I can get rid of this grotty Motad system!

The collector box wasn't chromed on the OEM ones, mine isn't and there is usually a grey weld line(looks like chicken shit weld) around where the two fixed pipes fit into the collector. I take it this set has been rechromed hense the extremely blingy OTT finish ?

No Found the ball bearing on the workbench. Never found the spring. Managed to re-purpose one from some bmw bits I had left over.

Im putting half a hand up as I never new the spring and ball were there until we had an in depth discussion on here about what made the 'click'  when moving the lever up and down. I was ready for the little blighters when I took mine apart.
