This set was free because I supplied examples. I think they would run to $100-150 depending on numbers. Need to find somer time to check the fit and get some more sets organised.
We supplied good CA and CB masters so a friend and I got two sets each.

From whay I can see they look really good.
I sent many old issue parts to Terry and Carol in Washington State and they produced the speedo rubbers, air cleaner rubber foot pegs and not many here are aware that every time I sent a NOS/OEM I never got them back.
What did happen is/was others were/are able to get perfect repo parts. .................lm

Yes I think we should all be grateful to people who have given up their parts for reproductions to be made. I have been too busy to push forward with the pipes this year but I intend to get stuck in with some more next year. The ones we had made have not been cut to length so I need to see them on a bike or two before we go ahead.
The firm produces really good quality work and are upt to the job of making them. More news in the New Year, hopefully.

Graham, just a thought, they weren't manufactured in Whitehaven by any chance, were they?
