I've got them on my Mille. Very nice bits of bling they are too, you'll like them I'm sure. £33 is a good price.

I asked about some at the bike show. His best price for a set of three was two quid off list. He was a surly bugger as well. I didn't buy any.

Every now and then they let some go to the highest bidder, (rather than Buy it Now at full price), I got an identical set for £32 at the end of November and was well pleased!

...painted mine, red, then silver, then black but you can't beat the mirrored finish on these over painted plastic :smt023

...thought you may have gone for carbon finished ones to match your wheels DR?

Have to agree Joe, my brake master cylinder was badly corroded and this was a big improvement at a good price, although at the full price, I would not have jumped so quick. Can't comment on the quality of the seals, as I've only been out on it once since I fitted them, but they seem fine to me.

It's the metal one I painted - the plastic ones were fine - just a bit of Back 2 Black brought them up a bit.

Function over bling every time ....
(except for the swingarm ... :smt053 )
