    They dont do many blade parts but I would avoid at all costs.

    Ordered a sprocket cover from them in February as there are very few options for buying these. Plenty of good reviews etc so thought it would work out ok.

    As it turns out I have just had a notification to say it has been shipped a couple days ago! This is after chasing it a few times, opening an ebay case which the seller responded to saying it would be sorted within 2 weeks. I forgot about it and the case was closed by ebay after 30 days, still no shipping. Opened another case where ebay were less than helpful basically saying speak to paypal to get a refund, I had paid via credit card with no record of it on my paypal account. They say speak to credit card but its gone on so long I no longer have that account.

    Anyways, im guessing in another 2 weeks it might arrive and if its in 1 peice wont line up so money well spent :D

    Im done with ebay for good!

    You're not alone. I've read of some similar tragedys on the MV forum.

    Quite correct about the handling route of problems through eBay/PayPal. It is a horrendous system. It will take extremely strong willpower to give them away though; they're almost a necessity of life.:(

    Ive had far too many annoyances with ebay though. Just this week sold an alpinestars eclipse overjacket. I only bought it this year and worn it twice. Guy reported it as damaged as the back is longer than the front... ffs its an overjacket designed for use over leathers on a motorbike o_O Explained this but still wasnt happy. I had to pay to have it posted back to me :eek:

    Sounds alright to me. If it's got 'tails' I might buy it as a dinner jacket:):). However, I have strong doubts that I would gain entry to 'society' dining. :(

    The whole point in ordering was to get this type so that I could clean the front sprocket area with minimal hassle

    Instead ive got a carbon replica of the oem type which will probably snap the first time I try to take it off, if it fits in the first place :mad:

    Yeah sure he could knock some up!

    As suspected, this thing is a crock of shite!

    Holes lined up well but they were too small. Opening them up very gently and the thing nearly ended up in 2 pieces.
