Yea iv heard mixed reports about them but they were a good deal an save the tors eliminator kit an has be be an improvement over stock....are u sayin don't run them from the picks or cos they aren't properly synchronized? There not even on the bike yet...assembling them to see how it goes an this happens!! Should the slides fully close or should there be a gap at the bottom...been reading around an people say as long as there in sync its all good? I'm gonna try my best to see if can sort it!....jus fried cos their brand new an wasn't expecting this to happen!
