well it passed the MOT, no thanks to Z Power, the head light assembly I bought has the US style rim, it also has the US style lens so points the wrong way , it doesn't mention that in the ad, the Guy doing the MOT put tape on the lens so he could pass it, he also lubed the chain, I didn't have the heart to tell him I am using proffi dry lube

Guys -

Please let Z Power know if the parts are wrong for UK.

They won't want to supply dodgy parts and be getting bad press on the forums I am sure.

Ref the rebuild - the black silencer bracket wrapping round the shiny silencer stands out a little. Could it be chromed or zinced or bright silver painted - to blend in with the can ??

Bet Dave at exhaust craft could knock you up a stainless one.

Just a thought.

A quick reply, but between a rock and a hard place, if I return it the bike is off the road see reply.

yeah, it seems our supplier ran out of UK spec ones and sent EU ones instead and forgot to tell us...
Not that it matters on a bike of course.. they are all crap but yes, some keen mot guys have picked up on it.
not sure when we will get the UK ones back in stock but you can always return it for a full refund of course
sorry...
