Put Gullible shallow twats jobs on mine last week and wouldn't change back BUT got the bars off Jack who put em on his and couldn't wait to get rid :banghead) :bigcry:

Try before ya buy if poss :thumbsup)
Eliminate the impossible. Whatever remains, however improbable, must be the part you forgot to service.

Think they are a poor copy of the ones that jaws sells.

Better off with them from "bezzers bling" as advertised elsewhere on this site, or from jaws if that's what you go for.

Shlink got a pair off flea-bay...no matter how he tightens them...they are fookin loose ! :bigshock). feckin cowboys out there. :wink)

If they're from buzzyat12 I got a set and they are excellent, fit a treat, look like a factory item and make a heap of difference. Keeps the same angle as they are a clip on, unlike the VFR bars which aren't !
Mine were £65 + P&P

The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent full of doubt – I think!
