Re: Eliminating the oil injection system
we should have 1000 new valves manufactured around the middle of november 2013,as for the price not sure yet but we think about £10 or £11 each ,a bit more than we first hoped but the set up costs for the tooling is expensive but maybe cheaper depends on how many sell,on the plus side we plan free p&p for the first few weeks to the uk usa and canada and plan to use ebay.

So, three final questions then:- * who is the 'we' please ?
- * at that price, I'm assuming these these will be just the valves, and not full spiders ?
- * If just valves, then they have to be attached to the spiders in some way - how is it expected this be done ?

Re: Eliminating the oil injection system
Hi,fortunately I have a nos Spider thats never been on a bike,so I'm set if my lines on the bike ever have a problem...but I'm still interested in the problems that these valves can give,any sort of replacements must be a good thing in looking after these bikes & keeping them running at their best!

Give 'em a chance - they might be in the pub!!
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

Just be aware that the springs can weaken since they have been static in one position since new...GT750Battleship wrote:

Re: Eliminating the oil injection system
so how are the valves going to be attached too the lines? is the union included? have you done any testing before manufacture and sales?givemeagirl wrote:we should have 1000 new valves manufactured around the middle of november 2013,as for the price not sure yet but we think about £10 or £11 each ,a bit more than we first hoped but the set up costs for the tooling is expensive but maybe cheaper depends on how many sell,on the plus side we plan free p&p for the first few weeks to the uk usa and canada and plan to use ebay.
