    Agreed. Speak to Mike, he used to work at cycletreads till Drury Performance poached him. He'll do you a great deal, and he knows his shit.

    I left valve in place and removed the actual flap..rather than blocking off
    the vacum hose.

    The Hornet loves them - PM you some details. Do a ring around as prices vary a lot.

    Are those GRP cans you are running?

    Go the mighty Hornet.

    Actually better than I expected, not as good as the original but still pretty good.
    Wattage is sweet, High/Low both 55w, whereas if my memory serves me right the OEM one was 55W low and 65W high. Just make sure you get the DOT approved one, otherwise the non DOT ones are 35W I think.

    Precisely. Although obviously I now realise that was pointless! I guess it can stay as it is no point changing it back as it won't be doing anything now......

    I've found them to be the best service, and reasonable prices - I just like going to their shop

    If you want a great deal, as has already been said, you need to sit on the phone and get the various sellers to out bid each other.

    The seller that has the tyres that you want sitting on a shelf will be the one to give you the best price.
