[Ken Talbot]

Yes, you can still get new ones if you want to $pend the buck$. You can also try the broken pick-up coil wire repair procedure.

You can get 'em from BikeBandit, they want $104 for your SF pickups.

Or, you could check the posts here and do the solder fix. Do a search for pickups

I tried repairing mine and only made it worse. The new ones were well worth the price and the lowering of &^%^%$^% factor.

Good choice, once the wires start to break down they are bound to break again in different places. It's not always a question of use, as I was surprised to find out. We have a 40,000 mile machine that appears to have never had a problem, and dhost's bike was under 9,000 when his went out. Mine broke at about 50,000, and the current project has bad ones and 25,000. Furthermore, the fix makes a solid spot in the wire, so it makes it a little harder on the remaining wire. There's no way to really tell how long it will last.
