    It is pricey but how bad do you want something that is going to save a lot a f*cking around,,,but it seem’s syco is happy to make his own,,I guess I like my old resto’s to look just the way they did when new so I would get something that fitted perfect, each to there own good luck with it.

    Cheers Mick.

    I would love to go with the oem part, being that you just bolt it on and hell of a lot easier and no stuffing around but I just can’t justify paying $100 for a piece of rubber/plastic when I know for a fact it would cost under 10% of that price to make it, probably closer to 99% cheaper if the truth be know especialy the way the Asians are producing stuff now days for next to nothing at all. If I can get a product that is cheaper and may actually last longer and not look that much different from stock then I think the little stuffing around is worth it. Plus I love any excuse to get out in my shed for a while ;)

    I was just looking at a picture of a mates old bike and you can no longer buy chain slides for them so he made one out of this grey plastic that is not brittle, I will ask him what it is, he has made his look just like the original if it was not for the colour you would not be able to tell the difference in quality.

    Cheers Mick.
