Cheap, looks stunning and it sounds good too? Now, that's sounds too good to be true.

TheyÂ´re from G&G....for being oval carboncans with an attitude they where dirt cheap!

I contacted them, cans are still available.

The price is good, now I'm in doubt if I should go for the titanium finish instead of carbon.

Anyway, they ask Â£59 for postage to the NL. Is this reasonable? I think it is on the higher side but it will be a huge package, of course.

I can't see them trying to rip you for postage. UK Royal Mail is very expensive for large items going overseas. I recently sent a cylinder block and pistons to Sweden. Cheapest post was Â£43.

Personally would go for titanium. Carbon looks alright but wear quicker, from the sun and I expect the vibes from the twin would cut its life span.

Righto, I thought so. Thanks.

I already wear a watch and a "wedding"-ring from titanium, so I think the choice is not that difficult!

Yes, there is a budget. The guy who caused the damage paid an amount.

Only paintwork is a problem. Sprayers are hard to find and (so) prices are sky high.

Holiday in the Uk on the bike and let 'Dream Machine' paint it any colour you want while you enjoy English hospitality!

why don't you buy Killerwhale's tank and there is a mint fairing on ebay? saves you getting paint done.

I already have a second hand fairing, tank and rear. In good condition but the wrong colors.
And... I want to turn this whole thing in something more positive, and get the bike in some custom colors I really like!

I ordered (and paid) the cans from these guys above. It has been a while now though. I already asked how it was going, but they were still working on it. Link-pipes were ready, they had to finish the cans. Can't help getting nervous anyway

, its a lot of money, right? I have to be patient, just be patient...

The guy was very quick with responses on e-mail before, but not anymore.

Phonecalls are also not answered.
I hope he's only enjoying holidays.

With my money that is.

Maybe they have more than one customer?

Tarwetijger · Post by **Tarwetijger** » Tue Jul 08, 2008 1:44 pm

I bet they do and I hope so too. Please don't get me wrong, I don't want to be the jackass. But he told me he was almost ready to send it by the 'end of the week', but this is a month ago now. Just the idea that it is at the other side of the pool so I can't easily go and stop by there, makes me worrying about it (too much, I guess).
If it takes two weeks more, they have to send it to my new house, not to my old address they have now.
