Looks like he has sold a ton of them, 95 so far and his listing has 54 'watchers'. Looks like he has done well with them from a selling stand point.

I wouldn't worry about the price that much. That same seller sells the $120 836 Piston kits that a lot of guys on here have used in their engines. I'd imagine the manifolds are of a decent similar quality. Probably the only thing worth maybe changing would be the clamps for some better type ones like these.

I bought a set. They are very nice.

I also bought some of Elan's stainless clamps - nice!

That is good.  I just bought a set as well.  Pretty soon we will be able to have all "new" stuff for our bikes.

I have them on my bike, they are good. Match them to your old ones positioning before you pull the originals off to make life easier.

Yeah for double the price minus clamps.

This guy makes good stuff, it's only cheap because his country is so much cheaper to manufacture in. He is a good seller, very responsive to questions and takes care of stuff fast. Fit and finish is similar to OEM that's what he patterns them after.
