Ok so I need to buy one for my RR, keep looking on Amazon at them but can't decide which to buy. I don't want to spend much more than £25.

Has anyone bought an Amazon or Ebay job and is it any good? I read the reviews but it doesn't take into accounts people who don't know what they are doing with them and getting inaccurate readings etc.

Any suggestions in my price range?

TIA

Gunsons ones are fine - had one for years, still working well. :)

thats the same one i've got, had it ages & never had any problems with it.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

Never had any problem with my Draper one.

Bought it for the E30, but used it since on motorbikes by buying the relevant adaptors.

Think they're around the 25 quid mark.
