So what's the difference between the diamond ones and these

http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/251554065614

They both seem cheap to me, obviously the eBay items are from China but does that mean the eBay ones are copies of the diamond hobbies. But even at 250 what's the difference between those and some 450 Gilles ones?

If I get some metallurgy tests done on the Diamond rearsets will it make everyone happy?

Then all we need is someone to buy the cheap eBay set and do the same to compare. tongue out

I'll probably just buy SES but I'm a bit fked off with them when they never even replied to my discount thread idea.

it sent thousands to evo-tech via 675.cc
SES are good ...
As are the following:

PP tuning
Gilles
LighTech
Arrow
Attack Performance
R&G
Sato Racing

Hope that helps.

Enjoy wink

I've ordered some LSL ones as I got them a bit cheaper through work.

I imagine they will be well made like the rest of the LSL stuff.

I didn't even want them, I just got suckered in by pretty pictures and a supposed deal.

Probably just use them as ornaments in a hermetically sealed room, since they'll be Chinese garbage.

Today was a COLD day to ride, but I enjoyed my new bike:
I like that. Nice paint job to.

Is that the air intake under the light ? Reminds me of

Under the light is ... another light.

Looking at the pic above, it looks like Honda have tried to disguise the second light now.

+1 on the colours.
LOL, I hummed and harr'd over a Speed Triple or the CB1000r, but I loved the headlight on the CB (I referred to it as a gas mask straight away) and couldn't like the "short circuit" headlight on the Triple. Just about to fit a carbon hugger to it. The paint has stopped me getting more carbon stuff as I like it, never had a bike that gets so much attention.
