The BIN price was in there and it goes after the bids start. I have never read a proper test of J&R, but an article in BIKE many years ago had a set on a Dresda GT750 they were building and they didn't like the odd peaky powerband. They "look" OK, so I have no idea if they changed the design or what the story was.

That particular set had some damage to the end of one that will require some panel beating to get teh baffle out. It looks like it was slammed into the floor.

When do we get to see some pics of this project. It sounds interesting
