Scoop is right!

Hi Scoop, I’ve just read your article in the June issue of CMM and speaking as someone who started biking in the late 70s I would like to concur with you in the old argument about OEM versus aftermarke­t. When I bought my Z500 the first thing I did was junk the original headlight and buy the ubiquitous Cibie Z-beam and when the original exhaust dissolved into a pile of useless rust coloured dust I replaced it with an Alpha four-into-one: more power, less weight and scared the scrap out of children and old people. If you can make your bike better and safer you’d be stupid not to! Pete Crawford

Bertie says: “There’s a big market out there for re-manufactur­ed after-market parts we reckon!”
