Had one on my SXR Bullet. Bitchin!

Crap heaps. Lower bracket always blisters and paint peels. Not to mention ugly. Imo

I have one available for sale. I am trying to determine what steering system it takes. Everything I have found claims conventional bearing system (UMI,Blowsion,TBM,etc) but the mounting holes are too close in diameter, unless I am missing something.

Seems quality. Adjust with spacers, not with a telescoping action like the RRP, so there is not as much of an option for length.

Had mine about 4 months and no issues. Sounds like they have a longevity problem for sure..

I use one for 2 years with UMI bearing system with no issue at all

As Zack said it was a piece of crap.. Was so happy to get rid of it and get a RRP. You can only run the bearing system (if you can call it that) that it comes with. I then had to modify it when I first got it cause it was machined wrong and it also came lose after every ride. Also like mentioned the paint came of it and trying to install the spring was almost impossible.. I had to heat my spring up and unwind it a coil just to make it work..
Dont bother mate..
