K&B Dream Designs Dampeners

I received the K&B Dream Design Dampeners today (Hard and Extreme 3D) from http://www.sportsmoto.co.uk/

These dampeners fit the Align 600e, 600n, Mikado Logo 10, 14, 500 and 600. They are priced at £4.20 per set.

I have fitted the Hard dampeners to the 600e and will follow up with fitting the Extreme dampeners after I’ve established the lifetime.
