There are now many, many reproduction world-logo gum hoods out there. Some are awful, some are pretty good. Many are dishonestly sold on eBay as 'NOS' parts, for as much as 125.00 per pair. Our hoods come from Europe (not someone's garage in California, not Japan, not China, not Taiwan) and are very nicely made. If I didn't tell you that they are reproductions, you might think that they were NOS hoods. There is some strong speculation that these come from OEM tooling in Italy. Fits 1968-1987 GS / Record / SR / Victory / Triomphe brakes.

His prices sometimes aren't competitive. I have had pretty good luck with him on Everest chains though.
I guess it's like going shopping at the grocery store. Some stuff is cheaper, some is more expensive than the other store down the road.
I used to get hoods from Robbie Fellows, but I'm not sure he's doing them anymore. Quality was always pretty good.
