Steve - perhaps you should have jumped in sooner to say that you stocked them, thus at least providing a choice. Its not always that easy to know everything on your shelf. In any case there should be no obligation to buy only from you although I'm sure we all appreciate your service.

It may be difficult for you to see other vendors mentioned but many of us don't live in the US and have to deal with exchange rates and postal fees. In any case, a well-used and popular site should naturally attract more business.

Be careful with these Aussies, they're a tough and cynical lot!

I have the stainless ones as well, I slipped them in the lathe between 2 tapered centres and within 5 minutes (true fact) were near perfect. 5 more mins on the buff with some soap and they are definately better then chrome. I also added some stainless head nuts to my engine to finish it off and its looks excellent. So good in fact 1 week after I put it together I picked up Best Sport Bike, beating some pretty good competition.

Can't answer that one, didn't try to buy them. I wanted stainless as it has a far better shine then chrome, IMHO anyway.

No, they come semi finished and you finish them to how you want them. It is a very easy job to finish them, but I suppose you do need the right gear.

how do they weather -do they require periodic polishing

Theve only been on for a month, I was away for 2 weeks but there is a lot of stainless bolts on my Darmah and its all polished and weathers good, its like chrome, you just give it a quick wipe over most of the time then use some polish at other times
