I had ScootRS SX drops for a couple of years. They cracked by the gearchange within a few days although, to be fair, the crack never got any worse in the couple of years I used them.

If your expecting original quality, even SIL quality, you'll be disappointed.

I've got some regular SX handlebars from Pat at Saigon.

They're better quality than the original ones. Far neater. Better fit, etc.

Well recommended.

Worb 5 does them on an exchange or outright buy.

I've sold a few sets of Sterling ones. Sold a set to a mate who sold the scooter on and they're still going strong about 4 years on. As is the norm they had to be fettled .... inside around the gear cable wheel for clearance. I've built a set up and the gear cable wheel appeared to have enough room without any fettling but some after market wheels are bigger than others. General fit together on Sterling and scootrs is excellent and the rims fit great too.

Oh yeah, dry building is a must. But then that goes for any body parts.

Got the ScootRS ones here, not used yet, but can't knock the build quality.
