  • No silver 3G head for the 500?

    As above, does the 3G fbl head only come in black for the 500?

    Why would they make silver, blue and black heads for the 600 but only black for 500?

    Because the 500 as standard has only ever came in black.

    Whereas the 600 has come in many different colours over the years.

      I see.. its a shame though, they should make them in silver for the 500 I reckon they'd sell well.

      Surely Align will bring out a silver 500LE eventually? or has the 500 now been replaced by the 550?

        Buy it in black and I believe caustic soda, a bit of polish and some elbow grease will get you the only silver head on a 500.

          Would that work? i'd definately be hesitant about putting a nice new fbl head in any corrosive substance!

            Yes, I wouldn't have suggested it if it hadn't been done successfully before.

            Click here or just search using caustic soda as the subject.
