Post by: Orange777 on May 09, 2012, 05:45 PM
The original ones on my '85 are literally rusted beyond polish..................Sunday - Bought two from someone at $30 may have been more..............then spotted Dereks Cycles on the Bay. Does whole host of colours. Just got two chrome ones.........£7.98 posted!!

Thought would share in case anyone else looking - no doubt - you all already know!!
