Cross Compatibility Authentic/Clone

[MiscoDatt]

Hi

Ive had a good search and cant seem to find much on the cross compatibility of authentics and clone parts for the BB.

I am aware that most aftermarket stuff is designed for the authentic (obviously) and that the all-in-one tips will not fit a clone BB and some buttons for the Authentic need fettling to fit the SXK but I was wondering if there was anything else that doesn't cross over well - boros/bridges et al?

I will most likely be getting an Authentic soon and wanted to know if there's anything I should look out for?

Cheers

Clone exocet (SXK) fitted and worked fine in my authentic BB for the short time I had it.

Haven't had a problem with Boros and bridges in my SXK Billet. I think there are issues regarding panels, tips and buttons.

"Most" things that fit an authentic will fit an SXK, except for things you have already mentioned and the infamous BBGen DEFINITELY does NOT fit an SXK.

Oooooh........... AND. The Threaded 510 from an SXK will fit an authentic, but NOT vice versa
