Default It's Christmas at Thanksgiving!

Got the UR-S8 caps today from Germany.....they are in almost perfect shape. Got to get some screws and put them on!

All in all, not a bad deal, was $250 US including air mail from Germany, which was $50 of it.

Default No, it's still large/small

These mirror caps were only on the UR-S8's in Europe....on the 32 valve babies.

They are big left (175mm) and small right (125mm) just like what we have now.
