Buying used injectors... Good or bad?

Hey guys I need your help on this one. I'm planning on buying used RC 750cc injectors with 10k miles on them. Is there a downside buying used injectors or it doesn't really matter? What should I visually check for?

TIA!

good! You can always have them flow tested and cleaned before you put them in if you want, it is cheap.

A good place to start, would be there "Seller Feedback". There's nothing wrong with used injectors, you'll find a lot for sale since most keep upgrading and the need for more fuel, go's hand in hand.
By the way, I have some Precision 680's for $150 shipped.

Good idea..... Its really easy to clean them if you want, just make a little rig to back flush them and they are good to go.

Or you can send them out to RC Engineering in El Segundo, CA. They will clean and flow test them so they are better than new.

Cool, I might just do that. Any Idea on much that would cost me?
