Nick Jones Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Witor was about £500 all up when I was pricing this about 2.5 years ago. I actually spent about £350 using a local company to do the inserts and fit the Witor bronze guides. Valves were new standard type from Paddocks (Witors were too dear for me) but I did fettle them a bit.CheersNick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
