Airblade Iridium Double bubble - SV650.org

Anyone got one and what's the fit and quality like?

Seem very inexpensive compared to others - Circa £55.

not got one but seen others that have, I've got airblade but not the iridium, fit isn't as good as sum, but once in they look good, some recommend heating then slightly to flex them in to fit, others have had to fiddle with the holes....

For the price saving against others its worth it I think

Also, bare in mind that iridium isnt very resiliant

only if you don't look after it

Good job I've not got anything iridium then. If I had it wouldnt have lasted 5 minutes

Ive put one on, was having alot of trouble till i called a friend round, 4 hands better than 2 :P i found you definatly needed another set of hands to push and hold bits in place.

i got one on the CBR.

fitted straight in. no probs with it.
hasnt lost any colour yet or anything like that. . . no scratches ect ect

all i would say - is dont put that sticker you get with it on the screen. . . it isnt waterproof and comes straight off.

as for fitting - there is about 1mm gap along the top side. . . but thats just being picky. you only can notice it if your up close looking specifically for it.
from a foot away - looks the nuts

I got the same model, but in "smoked" (read "pitch black") Hardish to fit, but I got it in, in the end. Looks really nice, a bargain at £38 inc P&P.

I don't like the appearence of iridium, so can't really comment on those, but I imagine they're the same shape.
