Why are there never any used oil-cooler covers?

[Trogladyte]

I don't mean the plastic tat "custom" items. i mean the great cast lump that the cooler sits behind on the Griso. Ebay seems to regularly have every conceivable part of a Griso in various countries. But I've yet to see one of these. Does everyone wreck them? Or is there a thriving black market?

• It's unique to the Griso
• The Griso is a low production bike
• The cover is down near the pavement where it can be damaged even if the bike is not dropped
• It's not hard to damage the cover if the bike is actually dropped
• There has to be something on every bike that you can only get from the dealer - it's a natural law!

I can see why you'd be interested in a used part. $540.00 from AF1. Unless you just need the grille, which at $6.87 is so cheap I ordered one to have as a spare. What possible reason is there for this sort of variability? (That's a rhetorical question.)

Wow. That's even more expensive than here(i think).

Just found one in the Netherlands.

£247   

WTF? Those idiots have Brexited the **** out of the value of my ******* pound.

Teo Lamers?

[Trogladyte]

Teo Lamers?

No - it was on Ebay, and not a name I recognised. I have used Teo Lamers when I couldn't get a part in UK.

Still not found one at a half way reasonable price. Might end up having to refurbish. Or continue living with my lifting paint disaster area, which is a continual reminder of my own damned stupidity

[beetle]

I refurbed mine. I hit the deck a lot, cause I'm a crasher. J-B Weld, lotsa sanding and heat-cured paint.

You almost can't even tell.

[beetle]

I've actually got two. When I drop Griso, I stick the spare one on and the refurb the scratched one. By the time I give up riding, I expect my Griso will be approximately 60% J-B Weld.

Do you live in Oz?

[pete roper]

Yes John, he's just up the road a bit from me in Wagga Wagga. An ancient aboriginal name meaning 'Place of the tattooed bogan'!

All looks good to me.

I thought it means "place where Grisos rest on their side a lot".

Does the crankshaft turn in the opposite direction south of the Equator?

It's a good thing the world keeps spinning - otherwise, all the Aussies and Kiwis would fall off!
