Just noticed your in aus so with post probs won't be worth it.
90 quid for blues, pads and lines (as R6 will suit ) is not a bad deal.
try to buy them separately inc post for less.
just sayin :wink:
cheers

hey mate...for 90 quid all up, is not bad, doesn't work out to be much more than I paid for my local set of radials lol...moving house this week, so will get back to you in the next week or two to see if you still have them. thanks :)

Could well be interested in them myself if Thumper is not. Got the master cylinder to suit?
Now with 140,000 on the clocks, X-mas tree didn't kill it & I still love it.

I'm in Sydney and rang around a few wreckers and picked a set up for $120.
They did need a clean (brake dust), but they were fine straight on. Even came with a set pads that were left in there.
I still put a seal kit and new pads/discs in.

I would be inclined to ring around.

Have you tried the wreckers in Adelaide?
I got mine from the mob on Churchill Rd, no problems at all, braided lines from HEL to suit from QLD, original master cylinder. She STOPS real well now!!

Haven't tried any local wreckers so far...eBay is always my first port of call...moved house last weekend...still got rubbish everywhere...so will sell the radial gold spots online or something, try get my money back before I look for another set to suit the TRX. The mob on Churchill Rd? I presume you're talking about that Japanese motorcycle wreckers place near the BP...Grand Junction Rd end?
