the stroke length would have caused a lot of problems

and no wayno - consider this an abject lesson in Uber Vulture Skills

many breakers are not au fait with all bikes and are not always correct in how they list things

I tend to scour all sorts of web sites - as some here are aware I use different countries ebay sites - it opens up whats available :)

I also consider different search terms - hence aprilia steering damper rather than mille steering damper. I did that and some one had incorrectly listed my steering damper as coming from an RS125 - and it was listed as an RS125 part... I looked at the photo, and i then checked that no such steering damper exists for an RS125.... buy it now was pressed very bloody quickly!

so, if you are after an item, think laterally for your search terms...


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...
