This past Saturday I picked up a set of Cobra F1S slip-ons from a local bike salvage yard (Sport Wheels). They're a little dinged & dented, but good enough for me to spend $75 on them (and spend a bit of time straightening & cleaning them).
Here's my dilemma - I'm missing one of the large "compression bands" on one side. I know I could just use a large hose clamp, but I'd prefer something that looks better (even if I have to replace them both to keep consistent).
Also, there obviously were no instructions - so looking at them it appears that I have to actually cut off the stock pipes near the rear footpegs. Anyone have any suggestions for making this cut - or should I just use a thin cutoff wheel?
...even a direct contact for Cobra might be helpful (I've tried contacting a number of Cobra dealers, but have not received any responses).
