Yeah, DK, I kept thinking DS but of course that's Dave Silver.
Gary, get the 2 lowest priced ones and have them powder coated. Even genuine Honda ones are not painted very well, I had a NOS one recently and that had an awful finish.
I checked my BILs DS brackets against my genuine ones, the lower ones were well out, the uppers weren't that far out but saying that I couldn't say they were that way when bought as he could have bent them trying to get the exhausts to line up.
Ash did a thread about the DS brackets compared to genuine, you can find it if you look.

Well I went for the DS ones and they went on with no real problem. One side was a bit tight but that could be due to the after market exhausts on that side.

So today I couldn't resist a trial start up. After 5 or 6 tries it started and ran and revd. BUT then I saw smoke/fumes coming from the generator cover, through the holes that hold the Honda badge on. I removed the cover and it looks like the rotor is very slightly rubbing the stator. I do have another of each, should I try swapping or will it "bed in" and settle down. The cover was VERY hot.
