i got mine free with my insurance from carol nash 

Re: Ebay Finds (unusal/cheap/rare/or just good value)
No such thing as free insurance. It would have been hidden in the insurance cost somewhere.
I used to be insured with Carole Nash when I was working as a courier one of the few firms that word insure me. IIRC it was close to a grand for TPFT on a CB1 400cc Jap import I had.

They go quite cheap these mate and general Moriwaki stuff for the blades doesn't fetch no where near as much as the storms stuff does.lloydiecbr wrote:mine £145 full compcybercarl wrote:No such thing as free insurance. It would have been hidden in the insurance cost somewhere.![]()

HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!
Re: Ebay Finds (unusal/cheap/rare/or just good value)
They look nice, but the hardest part is getting the cover stapled on without getting creases in it. There is an art to upholstery work.
You back in the UK mate?

Can't go to the Vic either, I'd already agreed to go to a Cheese festival in Dorset this weekend.
Clutch grab mod being trialled at the moment, and I still haven't cleaned the bike.
