What do you think ? I just got this offer from a German guy...

They are a perfect fit, only 50 are made worldwide. and they stopped production last year.

It is tempting ... but is it worth £43...?

[Stig]

Personally I wouldn't pay £5 for them. I think they look awful.

But then what do I know :roll:

[Smiffy]

I quite like 'em. Def0, on the expensive side though.

[Grinch]

Err why?

[SpankyHam]

That is what i thought...

I'd buy it for a 5er...

Maybe that's why they stopped production :lol:

Bear in mind that this is a " special offer to me" they normally cost £60. :shock:

[daddy_sperm]

Have to agree with Big Ape..... but everyone to there own.

[Dan_SV]

Err I think they look like spaff.

Check out Sigourney Beavers grilles made from mesh.I think they look particularly good and I bet you could get some tips on how to do it for a fraction of the cost. :wink: 8)

cheers pete !!...

like daddy sperm says each to their own but my grills in entirity cost me -

£5 and about 4 steady hours (with brews) .....

<<<<<<<<<<<<< look how big me back garden is !!--- and I only got a hover mower !

[Peter Henry]

Sig....My pleasure I think they look great on the blue bike! BTW did you see my waffle of places to see when your over here? Forgot which thread I put it on?! :shock:
Was at the Ronda Café late afternoon yesterday loads of bikes there.Plus a bit of a show from a new Gixxer thou and an R1. That kept hooning up and down past the cafe! The cafe has a great position as you look left and see bikes coming down and away from you and looking left you see them suddenly appear round the sweeping 90º right hander.Good fun! 8)

Pepsi in July? Sounds good to me! Looks like a Spanish landscape there just not quite as sunkissed! :lol:

[Quiff Wichard]

yes mate I saw it- forgot to print it and then showed Kim in excitement ( cos we are going with the in laws- so it will be some respite!) an dcouldnt find it when I was showing kim-
Sounds a good place to watch the world go by-
even if it is going by at post 60 mph at that particular place!

I will do a search of all your posts and find it...

like i say we have a hire car !- so we will be the ones rolling up in the fiat !!! mind u- thats a ferrari innit>????

Only 50 sold worldwide.... dunno why that few... :wink:

[sprocket]

No offence but that looks awful ... what the hell is it supposed to do anyway?

[Quiff Wichard]

I like the dyson idea!!

[Junior]

NO!!

[Peter Henry]

Sig....Your hire car will be a very close relative of my bike then! Hope I have finally got the Termi kit fitted by the time you are over here! Still waiting for it to arrive! :? 8)

[Carsick]

I'm still confused. You could get the same look with a couple of bits of black gaffa tape.

[MitchC]

Hey,

I dont get it... it doesn't look complete at all. If those vents are supposed to cover that hole in the fairing, it should cover it, not just a section. Also, the mesh look of sigourneysbeaver is nice. Although, I might add with that camera flash, it looks like tissues... ;) I'd go for mesh... but I don't think that's what you were asking...

Mitch

PS: I thought I should amek fun of my own comment before anyone else can, '...look of sigourneysbeaver is nice.' :oops:

[richwill68]

ughhhh, the purple one sucks (oh c'mon, someone had to say it!).

[Captain Nemo]

WHY?
,oh and what is it?

The Dyson thingy on page 1 lol

[Cloggsy]

[Quiff Wichard]
