Hi I have a set from the USA on my STI 8 they are fine and really good quality. Ebay item number 290168837948. No probs even with the alloy bonnet.

 

why?

I have had a set of these on my MY00 classic for over a year now and they are fantastic, didn't get them from ebay mind, one of the guys in our club makes them to order.

One of the easiest, cheapest and best mods I have done.

Not the cheapest.

 

Cheers. Only asked about avoiding a I seem to remember someone saying it was hard to close and they thought the bonnet may get damaged due to the pressure needed to close. Maybe just on the first occasion? Or maybe just a bad set? Are they easy to close without feeling like you are going to bend the bonnet?

 

Did i not hear that all the scottlowe ones rusted?

 

Mine felt hard when I first used them, now they are fine no probs at all

 

I don't know about all of them but mine certainly have rusted.

 

my first set didnt
had them 2 years
so bought the carbon ones this time
lets see what winter brings
