I have established that my missing trip knob for my bandit 600 (1999) unfaired is attatched by a reverse thread.
Similar to this and this
edit since somebody pm'd me about this: The knob I bought was 'YAMAHA RD 250/350 lc trip knob'.
My question is does anybody know if this will actually fit my bandit? and does anyone think (just opinions here, leaning towards the cheapo one) that the chrome one is worth the extra moolah? (or if you wouldnt have it even if it was free).

Thanks in advance.


edit: oops fixed. And yer they are basically the same knob anyway.
Aye thats why i'm making the thread here instead of just buy and see Razz Already bought a harley one for 4 quid to see (couldnt work out how mine was attatched xD)

Those two links appear to show the same knob...?

I was going to suggest buying it and see, until I saw it was £8.00 Shocked

I'm missing one for a spare set too, but I'm going to have a go at making one if that's the price of replacements.

When I was scouting around for second hand clocks recently, I rang the local Suzuki dealer out of desperation. Get this: for a new speedo... £170!! and worse, a new tacho (and bear in mind it doesn't come with the chrome casing.. which is another £40 odd) it was...... £290!!! Shocked

Next time I have an off I'm going to climb on the front of the bike before it hits something, so I can take the brunt of the crash and so protect my clocks! Thumbs Up
