Cb 550 ss spain

I bought from "cruz" and never paid tax here in Spain, not problem

Thanks, but I have already bought rings in that store 6 years ago, when they were on ebay, I don't know if they can't hold or that the lack of filters ate them, I have used them 4000 km with velocity stacs, with micro mesh filters inside. I also bought the admission rubbers there and now they are all cracked, I have doubts that they are Japanese articles, at least that was my experience

The rings are Riken that are used in genuine spares. As for Cruzinimage rubber items, don't bother they are rubbish. That's all Cruz items that have any amount of rubber in them.

A lot of forum members use this source in Japan (I've used 3 kits personally) - never paid import duty to UK but not sure how it would be in Spain

Philward if it's Riken's rings like Royhall says
I would buy them, have you had problems with the pistons?

[philward]

Only done about 4000 miles to date and no issues + as Roy says, they are (I'm told) what Honda used

A word of warning about Cruzinimage, don't be tempted to email them for information. If you do they will block you and you won't be able to buy from them. Their a strange bunch.

[murdock]

I behave in the same way with whatsapp , jajaja

[philward]

The link was from there direct website Roy - too avoid the eBay blocking issue (I'm blocked)

Me too.

I have been looking at a yamaha xs 650 forum and many recommend their pistons, so tonight I will buy them, they also say that the seller only speaks Japanese and they all have communication problems, in their ebay store they do not have items for sale, I guess The rings that I bought 6 years ago were worn by dust or a bad settlement, I will give them another chance this time, you see with pistons

[murdock]

today I play a bit of polishing and cleaning carburettors

Looking good!
