    Hope you're not riding that to the Classics , or we'll talk about you when we're drunk .

    Cheers , Simon .

      Cool, wish I could get a stage 3 Dynajet kit though, they only make a stage 1 for my 450 so I'll be playing the jetting game soon... mind you, it'll be nice to actually have a bike to tune

        I wouldn't use them if I was paid to. I put them in the same bin as Powerbronze.

        Reassuring to know, thanks. I don't think I'll be going Stage 3 though... Yet.

            I wouldn't recommend them, Pete.
            Neither would at least a dozen people I know.

              In that case they're in the ignore basket

              Haven't had any grief with Slipstream Performance yet except they've stopped stocked the fly screen I had my eye on...

                Right.
                There's one for me to add to the list of suppliers when I get my bum into gear on this.

                  Oh, speaking of speedy suppliers.
                  Sin City Cycle Parts despatched the pods the same day I paid.
                  That's a good sign, right?

                  I'll let you know if I have any dramas.

                    That is a good sign! I've got stuff coming from the UK and Sydney at the moment, some not bike related, and neither of them have bothered to mark them as posted, so who knows if they're on there way or not...

                      That sh!ts me when they can't even be bothered clicking the mouse to let you know they're on the way.

                        Indeed! Must be far too strenuous on their sensitive little fingeys...

                              The pods turned up today.
                              I'm quite impressed.
                              I can get stuff out of Olean, NY weeks before I can get stuff from Hong Kong.

                              Anyways, the pods are quite well constructed.
                              There are two metal pins that go from the caps to the base to hold it all together.
                              The chrome looks solid and well applied.
                              The filters themselves are in between two fine mesh "cages" and are quite thick.
                              The rubber base mount is thick with barbed ribs inside to help grab the carb throat.
                              Even the hose clamp is good quality and chrome.

                                Cool, they sound promising... do they need oiling?

                                That's one issue with some of the cheapies apparently... no oiling and therefore don't filter as much crap from getting in.

                                Sounds like they're made well though!
