I take your word on SFs, because in my neck of the woods there aren't many around. But I did come across several Kobelt controls in fast MYs (both...
Can't be bothered to look at their website, but R U sure? The only Kobelt controls I ever came across are either electronic or pneumatic. With the...
That reminds me of something I had in mind when I previously wrote "for better or worse", but I didn't mention explicitly. I actually prefer...
It takes much less than a lightning, to develop a fault in anything electronics. Regardless of the levers load (which for better or worse will...
