Quick release steering boss
neilp1 - 21/3/10 at 08:29 PM

Hi all,

I'm going to buy a quick release boss for my Tiger, but have no idea which one to buy. I've seen posts on here about cheaper bosses coming off, so which ones are good quality.

I've seen this one on ebay

or this one

either any good?

Cheers

Neil

Id try and find the "snap off" boss they used to make

It cam with a key that you couldnt remove until the boss was secure.

Very good and can't be released with out the key.

SPA ones have a good reputation for being good quality. Not cheap, but not a component to scrimp over the pennies on.

I searched for ages to find one of these, as they're now a discontinued model and are becoming rarer. I finally managed to source one on the 'bay and paid about £70 for it.

They can't be released without the key, so no chance of it popping off mid-drive, and it's a good anti-theft device. I never liked the look of the cheaper 'clip-off' design ones, hence the adamancy on finding another one of these.

Do a search for posts by me and you'll see the discussions come up, and one of the threads not so long ago showed what can happen when you buy one that won't secure! (Awaits linky from someone else).

Ive got a copy of the second one which doesnt come off, wont work unless its on properly, and sounds the horn if you put it on upside down.

I didnt pay £60 for it though, i think it was more like £35.
