    Default Zero's Wanted

    Just emailed ZERO to get a quote but thought I would check on the off chance that somebody had a set for sale to save a few quid

    I am in a bit of a conundrum here. I had twin ovals on my previous ZT190 (so been there, done that), so I really wanted to retain the quads. The X-Powers are single ovals (per side), and from what I have read, many people say they are too loud. The Zero's are supposed to be very good, and would give me the quads. However, they are 400 quid a pair plus VAT plus postage. Whilst probably worth the money, they are over my budget. My local Powerflow fitter said that quads in Powerflow were not possible, but ovals either side would be £155 + VAT (per side). I rang another Powerflow centre who said they could do the quads no probs, and quoted me £140 per side. However, I am concerned that if wend for P-Flows, they might not give the improvent in tone that I want.

    HELP

    simple answer is to buy the zeros you won't regret it the quality of Kevins workmanship is outstanding, or to buy the x powers and to modify them using some stainless pipe to create the quad look, cut the ovals off, measure a set of quads to work out the spacing and to TIG weld the quads on. Pay me enough and i'll do it for you. My wleding set is waiting to be used again.

    That would be my preferred option I think. However, with two new tyres recently fitted, just re-taxed it, and two more tyres needed very soon, they are simply out of my budget (at the moment), hence my call for for some nearly new ones on here. Perhaps, I'll wait a while longer until the funds improve

    That'll be great. Assuming they are in a good condition, I have cash waiting, and can collect at your convenience (depending where you are!).

    Just say the word.

    Cheers bud

    with any set of zeros, whether they have been cleaned or not they will be in good condition, the quality of construction and quality stainless steel used means that a quick clean would bring them back to there full glory.
