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

...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 ...
