Title: DK stem ?
Post by: BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN on October 09, 2008, 09:41 PM

evening all  ;)

can any one tell me which DK stem this is ? it came off my pro burner and now has been changed for correct stem - it still has it's Evan's sticker on the back - would i ruin it by mirror polishing it  ? or leave it as is? with just a clean !

and just out of curiosity what's it worth ?

cheers B  ;)

im sure it is worth around what the sticker says on it, i ebayed one a couple of years ago , it was NOS in the bag and sold to a chap in japan for £50 i think.

I would go for the full polish, mate :daumenhoch:  They came in a raw, polished finish anyway.  I don't know much about DKs apart from the fact they polish up nicely.  Just take it easy around the logo as they're not very deep 8)

Polishing stuff was an addiction for a while ::)  I think I've got it out of my system, now. 

Once you reach Jedi standard, there's nowhere left to go :LolLolLolLol:

Cool stem mines about six months old and it polishes a treat :smitten:

These stems really do grip, and they dont twist in the fork shaft easily because the shaft of the stem is knurled (and we all know theres nothing quite like a knurled shaft!). Really good quality stems. This is how much i like em. I have been using these on builds for quite some time now.
