There are two makes out there that must do the same thing but there is a big difference in price.
The Oberon seems to go for £90 or so and the Factory racing ones can be had for £50
Is there any difference apart from the price.

The Factory racing one is a new one on me. Any info?
The ones we commonly talk about are:
- * Evo (probably the best but no longer available)
* MPL
* Oberon

I have tried to get them factory racing ones cheaper before, but from what i say then still ended up going for £60-£70.
They sell 5 or 6 of them a week - always ends on a sunday, which is annoying.

I noticed that but is there a better one of the two, price not really an issue (I didn't say that) I would just like to get the best if there is one.
Looking to do stuff in the winter months, two tyres etc. and possibly the clutch as it is heavy at times.

the factory racing one is from motopike i believe and if so I was one of the testers for it
the one we ran on craigs falco was very good - light action, well made and very well finished
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...

I use a factory racing one. Obviously don't have others to compare it to but its lightened my clutch and looks the part. On ebay auctions they usually end up going for mid to late £40's...

Ah - Moto-Pikey has a brand name now.
That explains that then

I have the factory racing, got it for £48 plus delivery :) in the winter, then got Griff to fit it round noojs
You need a new sprocket cover (the RSV or tuono one) which shows it off nicely, or you can cut a hole through the existing falco one.
Pass me a hammer, a spanner and a cuppa

Better to buy a Tuono sprocket cover than a Mille one.
Same thing but much cheaper

The motopike/ factory racing one Is identical to the MPL one.
Tolerance will be our undoing.
