Thanks Chris, I take your point but he does state twice in the ad they are DP tubes once in the actual heading and once again in the text. It seems to me as if they have had a coat of laquer sprayed on at some time to tart them up a little. I did actually start to fit them but on trying to pick off a small lump of something from the tube the laquer came of! The only way I can describe it is as being similar to a lottery scratchcard that you can scrape of with your fingernail!

I know they were cheap and I can probably sell them on but I think I would be a little more honest with my ad on ebay! The bloke has sold a few Ducati items on ebay and I get the impression that he knows whats what.

I wish I had a geniune pair to hand to compare them to see if mine are as they should be.

Does anyone know if it is possible to have them flatted back and have a clearcoat applied that will not flake off? To be honest the weave is very very similar to the other pieces on the bike and I cannot imagine anyone noticing any difference.

I suppose Buyer beware springs to mind at the moment
