Sudoxe, my bike gets bad-tempered if I don't attach a new bit at least once a week

It depends what you're trying to do, and how... risk averse you are For me, I like to do everything as cheap as possible- so for instance, I own 2 WRP race systems, one all titanium and one with stainless headers and a titanium end can. The former cost £200, the latter £80, there's people on here that have paid more for one end can new.

Or this here... One Micron bought for under £100. Turns out it'll fit and look great, but I don't like the sound- so, I'll clean it bcak up, and despite it having done a few hundred miles now and having some marks from the fitting, I'll make most of the money back on resale most likely. And then, I get an Akra, slightly used, for about half of RRP.

Likewise, I put together my GSXR front end for less than I sold the SV bits for But equally, I could have spent £100 on a wheel and discovered it was bent, and spent 3 months chasing after a refund.

But then, I'm a cautious buyer, and I've been playing the game for long enough to know how to avoid getting burnt, most of the time Ebay's a great tool for the wary...
