Mine were $62 US plus $18 postage. Living where I do makes for expensive postage costs......Thats ok though. Cheaper than the Pazzos I was considering and they are exactly the same. I can't see any difference other than them not having Pazzo written on them. Got them in 3 days to from China which is worth the 18 bux.

Took "my first born" 
the ole Silver 1990 out for a thorough workout this afternoon,
now I know one thing for sure , I need another set of power pures for the 93 , the
"leanability" factor is waaaay superior by comparison as well as general nimbleness imo.

Using a self tapping screw I fabricated a pin that hits the brake cylinder piston. Took 20 mins with the bench grinder getting the right length.
Safety wise... it just doesn't sound like a good idea. If the screw comes out, your front brakes won't work, and that's bad news. (especially if you have to brake hard and that's when the screw breaks or pops out).

After mechanic had my bike over a week i called him and told him i wanted it quick, who likes waiting ;S He was gonna hurry looking over my bike and called me the day after telling me the petcock was broken, and i probably had a vacum leak due to no screws holding the airbox.
Drove it home took of the tank to see what screws was missing, and give the rubberpipes between airbox and carb some silicone spray. Found some screws that fit
airbox stuck(seemed like it was pretty stuck without though ).
Looked at the petcock half crying over the possible loss of 100 usd or so, then saw a huuuuge hole in the gasoline hose just after the petcock, errrr. how couldnt he have seen that taking off the petcock. Cut off a piece of the hose and wroom no more gas poddles under the bike. And hopefully "vacumleak" disappeared too.
Lesson to myself, be more patient and get a laptop with wireless to bring to garage constantly logged into cbrforum.com
