A while back in a thread about brakes, 5Twins mentioned that Banggood had stainless brake lines in stock at a good price. I went on line saw the product, bought a couple which were delivered at no cost to my front door. If it is any test, they look like good quality items, although not yet installed on a bike.
More online research/shopping brought me to the tools section where I ordered a spoke wrench for $9.00, a chain brush for $6.00, a pair of three way wrenches in the popular sizes for about $7.00 each. These arrived today. The chain brush is sturdy and fits the hand nicely, the 3 way tools are a bit rough, but can be smoothed out. The spoke tool I bought because it has the correct opening for the valve adjusters, I checked, it has a bit of weight to it which may help. So all in all, for the money paid, I am content.
Next to Banggood bar switches.
After a disappointing day of trying to clean and rebuild a 76 bar switch where twice I had a left switch all dismantled, cleaned, reassembled, etc., only to have the high beam slide switch break off on the first test, I again looked at the Banggood site and found a pair of chrome bar switches for $27.00. They have arrived and are garish, but solid. I just wish they came with a wiring diagram so I could know what color wire controls what function. Taking them apart, I can trace the wires, so I guess I can figure it out. But for less than $15.00 a side, they are worth a look. It will take a while for me to match the wires to the existing harness. New ends will be needed of course.
I have since seen that they offer the same but not chromed, (and are even cheaper) which I think would be the better alternative.
Who else has used these and how did your integration to the stock harness go?
