They were in stock yesterday .....and still in stock today!!!

Maybe it's a regional thing, our guy at Smart is good at keeping good stock levels!

Re: Optigear Actuator - any good?

From our own test of the actuators we did not experience any noticeable difference from either a brand new modified actuator or a modified refurbished one, the trick seems to be in the spring tension, so the spring pushes the actuator out quicker....but then more force is required to pull it back in!!!!

Why? the clutch will assist in the closing surely?

The price for a start!!!

I think the second one is for a 451.

Cheers!

Note the start of the part number, 451 is there in the second one!

That is the later 42 the first actuator is as used on the earlier 42's and Roadies
