They are shite, I've had 2 pairs myself on both 2.2 and 3.2, fine for a month or two, but they are very loud, each time they change direction "CRACK"

Switched to Bosch ones, also on Halfrauds trade, they feel far superior in terms of build. Also super silent, time will tell but going by here, they last a lot longer. Not the crappy 3 months or so Halfrauds own stock did.

Still ok on price, think they were £11 on trade, compared to £19 retail

Must not use them much then  :-\ as they are shite for me barely last a few months! I know I am not alone here either, I'd never buy them again nor will I recommend them to anyone.

Even on trade too, at around £7 or so I got them for. Still not worth it. Have to see how well Bosch ones last

Just ordered 2 new Michelins from black circles, £92.00 cheaper than what  I paid for the 2 I bought a couple of weeks ago.

Put it on blocks, prepping to change fuel pump. Disappointed, no pump access plate for me. Down with the tank. 140,000 miles/225000km riding on vapors finally caught up.  :o  ::)
