Mine fell apart Geoff, from rampigcat. He had issues with the rubber he was using, he said he had resolved the problem but i got the early ones which were useless, nice fit & perfect color but shit rubber.

Plus he has put up his prices as well. :bat:

Has he replaced them for you?

The first set I got off him were great, good colour & fit like you said... just hope they don't fall apart ...

I paid $45 dollars for this new (lost) set..... not much more than these shit ones....

crap rubber, don't fit very well & look bloody awful...

I spoke to him about getting some blue ones for the 34L`s, asked him if he would do a deal for four sets & he wasn't much interested in helping me.

I will get round to sending him an e-mail explaining what happened but it was over a year ago when i bought them, the bike was stood still for months with them on & they just perished, he has said there was an issues with the first batch & that was why he had put up the price on the new lot. :scratch:

What sort of Renthals are those on Ten 2 Geoff?

I've measured my standard bars and I reckon the closest Renthal model is the Enduro High. I like the position so I want to keep the dimensions but fancy some nice shiny Renthals.

Cheers,

Rich

They're RC high's...... used em on both Tens... :thumb:



Just had a conversation with the Royal Mail manager from Hartlepool.... :tosser:

They've lost me gaiters.... he wants me to fill a claim form in :tosser:

I said, lets get this straight, it took 4 days for that package to get to Hartlepool from
New York & you've fucking lost 'em bringing them a couple of miles to my house.

He said "please don't swear at me" :tosser:

I said why didnt you put em in me shed

he said we can't, health & safety rules....... WHAT!!!!....Jeez.... what is happening to this country for gawds sake

The stupid thing is they were there, he had em at me door, he lost em taking them back (probably a rag head
who can't speak English anyway)..... :tosser: :pissed:

Cheers for that Geoff.

Don't forget to put plenty of swear words on the post office claim form. Bastards.

So after that debarcle with the post office man I went out to pick these up..... now I wasn't gonna put these on me bikes 'cos I don't like 'em.... but after a lot of deliberating.... especially if me n Mezo might be riding these 2 bikes to France carrying tents etc... I tidied them up & had them powder coated... wonder if I should of had em done white.... :scratch:
Anyway when I got home I noticed he's made a shit job of one of them so it'll have to go back.. :rolleyes:
