I missed out on the original forum sale of 8 of them but subsequently got mine from a member that struggled to fit it on his XS. I gave it a shot and after quite a bit of fettling managed it. Google I reckon would be your best bet. I'll have a look. If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Not until you receive the item will you be able to tell, but from the pictures/information given and price I would hazard a guess and say the dark side ones are copies.

I don't think so as it clearly states Provent in the description and in the menu when you don't make a choice before adding to cart. The installation diagram clearly states M & H ProVent at the top and it's not advertised as 'style.' Be worth asking though. From Australia these are £93 plus £27 shipping. The forum buy was £80 and these are £90. I would have thought copies would be cheaper perhaps? Nevertheless as a UK company if it's a copy you will be better placed for redress with Trading Standards especially with the information and 'belief' you are buying OEM. See what arrives and using the copy link above you will soon be able to tell. If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Anyone fancy doing another bulk buy? Is there enough interest?

Somebody would have to arrange it via a supplier....The original group buy was from a member who had 7 surplus to requirements from work.

It's turned out Steve B was right the provent on dark side was not genuine although they can supply genuine for £120+vat+post. Any one know where to get genuine item for good money ? Cheers Chris

You could always ask 'Steve B' the original seller where they get/got theirs from?

PM replied Mr Ibex Smile

Hi K9F,

unfortunately it was a when there gone there gone, I sold them as a good deal for Forum members and know what they were bought for as a bulk buy which was more than the copy ones are. This was also quite a while ago, I would suggest contacting Mann&Hummel and asking what a minimum order is if there is enough interest?

Then maybe ask K9F how he neatly slotted it next to the Puma engine Smile
