Must thoroughly check ebay purchase befor leaving fbk

I've been a bit previous...

Bought a set of GSXR750 TB's on ebay, they arrived, in mint condition, so I left fbk and set about pulling the secondaries out.

As I'm using them on a six, I needed another, and Malc obliged.

Second set arrive, what they're bigger!!

Turns out the 1st set were from a 600, not a 750, THESE, I've left FBK and pulled them apart, so I've just learned another £75 lesson

Dangers of eBay

Can't you put them back together and ask for refund ?

If you payed by paypal cant you raise a dispute as items ' not as described' and they will freeze funds until its resolved.

I have just put in my first dispute for "not as described", painless and got a full PayPal refund in quick time

Problem is I can't really expect a full refund, to get the secondary butterflies out, the easiest way is to drill the peened over ends of the screws off then unscrew.

Which means I can't put them back to how they were, might go for a partial refund, otherwise will just take it on the chin.

were they both suppose to be off the same year bike?

There are lots of different versions of GSXR throttle bodies and some different variants fitted to the same model bikes. So they may well be off a 750...

Yup, both from 2007 K7 models, checked the stamp numbers Malc gave me, and the 1st set are definately 600s...

So what is the difference in ID for the 600's ?

Just thinking they may be more practical than the blackbird bodies i've got in the attic.
