Good close to OEM radiator
Installed on an 08 SV650 SF, converted to a S with 08+ GSXR forks. Comparing this radiator to the OEM one, some of the fins where manufactured and slightly out of alignment the same as the OEM one. It has been mounted and in use for about 600 miles with no issues so far. Mine did not come with a cap. Almost everything mounted up the same as OEM. Due to paint/coating the tabs for the threaded clips are a little wider than the push on clips for mounting the lower rubber flap and fan mount. Requires drilling a hole to properly OEM mount the horn. Also had to tweak and bend one of the fan mounts slightly to line up for mounting. Other than this it seems to be good for the money, and as the other review says the best one none-OEM out there for K5 and up SV's.

Bar end mirrors better than the round style
1 of 1 found this helpful The Good: The visibility is better than the round mirrors. I prefer the build quality of these as well, and the look is better.
The Bad: Installed on stock GSXR 600 08/09 clip-ons/bars. The hardware included is similar to the bar end mounting hardware on a GSXR 600, rubber spacer with a bolt through it and standard hex nut. The problem is you cannot tighten it all down. The bolt and nut just spin inside the bars. I tried using lock washers and same issue. The GSXR stock bar ends work off the same principle but when you tighten them down the nut stays in place and the bolt/screw tightens moving the nut closer to the end of the bar causing the rubber spacer to expand and tighten.
This is how these are supposed to work but do not. I had to also force them into the bars as the rubber spacer was too large. It was so tight that when I removed it, it actually peeled back the top layer or rubber where it skinned it. I could not use the screws, spacer and nut off the OEM GSXR bar ends since they are a different size. I tried using lock washers next to the nut, and it still would not tighten, also two against the end between the rubber spacer and the end. I also tried one between the nut and the spacer and one between the spacer and the end, same issue. I decided at this point I did not want to mess with it anymore, and I did not want to spend a lot of time fabricating and modifying the proper hardware for this to mount up.
Since they use the same thread pitch and size as the round mirrors I decided to use their mounting hardware instead and got it to mount up. (aluminum spacer, sloped nut to spread open the spacer and two lock washers)
Of course this hard mounting process will probably cause vibration transferred to the mirrors, but they are still better than the round ones.
I might take it back apart and notch the base of the mirror mount or ends when they press against the stock clip-ons/bars. GSXR stock clip on have tabs that protrude on the ends to lock into place the bar ends. How I have them tightened down they do not move or have not yet.....but I might do the finalization on it just because.

Keyless chuck
I used this for very small bits, not micro, but under 1/16 in my drill press since the current chuck would not get small enough to hold.
It worked pretty good, or good enough to get the job done. I drilled small bolts for safety wire or other hardware that requires a threaded bolt with a hole for cotter pin.
The chuck seems to be made like any cheap Chinese keyless chuck or tool would be.
It did a pretty good job holding my smaller bits once I used a pair of adjustable pliers on a the silver body and a 1/4" wrench on the shank/shaft that goes into the drill chuck to tighten.
Mine has a very slight wobble to it, or at least the body appears to. The body is the silver part that has a gnarled surface.
On the one I received the body has a slight out of alignment where it mounts to the black metal base, almost as if someone cross threaded it when it was assembled. I looked it over in an attempt to disassemble to properly align it, but it appears to be pressed together, possibly. I did not extensively investigate since it works good enough to drill the holes I needed and I did not want to waste a lot of time away from my primary task.
I did not attempt to make a grand effort to fix the alignment/fitting issue and have something I could no longer use as a result of breaking it during the process.
Outside of this, it works for the money and jobs that do not require extreme tolerances within thousands of inches or millimeters it should be fine.
For serious machine and tooling with tight tolerances I would probably advise looking elsewhere.
