I hear you!

I hear you in terms of forums. I look-in on others from time to time, as I do on Face Ache, when I’m wanting info on other bikes etc. But it’s clear that the dross to useful ratio is way out on many other forums. Hence this is my only regular one.

And I hear you about repro parts from ‘specialists’. I did say some years ago that this was inevitable. As these repro parts fill up inventories around the world they start becoming ‘normal’ and even NOS, which folk take to mean factory stock, but it ain’t. Also these parts start to appear as used spares, again folk often think they’re buying genuine when they’re not.

This is why I often get on my soap box about supporting the good guys / suppliers, not only will you get better parts, but you’ll help keep them in business and providing better parts for the future.

If we all buy the cheap badly fitting crap, then that will be all there is to buy !
