Hi,
today my other two KI-T arrived, a HA black and a HA nat.
There was already some rumour about anodisation problems of the HA nat version and unfortunately this is right:
The battery tube is much darker than the head.
Here you can see a group of all my five KI's:
As I wanted a bare Al KI-T from the very beginning the decision to strip, beadblast and partially polish the HA nat was an easy. Here my KI group again after this mod:
It was promised that the crystal version will be brighter than the ordinary KI-T's but I cannot see this, finally I would even say the black and the formerly nat one are having whiter tints than the crystal.
All three KI-T had a switch problem. The lights went out again when you turned further after they got on. I could solve this problem very easily with the aluminium foil fix given by TrueBlue.
So finally I am very happy with my three KI-T's!
OK the crystal was by far too expensive but it was my free decision to pay the asked price. I also like the black and partially polished ones a lot, but when I would have gone for the HA nat only I would bee very disappointed.
