Well spotted, but $33.55 to post to the UK though - gold plated jiffy bag?

But wont you have to wear leather chaps, sport a handle bar moustache and sing in the village people to have anything from Hardley Movingson on your bike?

Who cares that is still c£100 cheaper than racetech ones.

And yes I know it says h*rl*y on site... but valves are made in taiwan so they should be OK!

Good find.

If I wasn't getting shot of the SV I'd give them a bash for the £45 or so they'd cost in total to get them here.

Look like rip-offs of the Racetech ones to me.

They work the same way but lets face it a checkplate and a preloaded pop off valve to sit on top of a damper rod is hardly exclusive technology.

I don't know who thought of them first TBH but it wouldn't surprise me. Racetech are certainly not the only company who manufacture an emulator of sorts.

Racetech copies you mean these?

And quantify not as good, such a basic part can't really be bad unless it's not flat. Not as good is a pretty meaningless statement.

Good spot Chris,

I will have a think about purchasing a set. Emulators were on my shopping list anyway but £140 was outside what I can justify at present.
