My SDS9 came with a very beaten up mismatched pair of spurs - they fit fine but one was about 4 inches longer than the other. I got a shop to machine the longer one down and rechrome them. Now they match and are as good as new. These spurs are tubing with a solid end insert which is machined down to a point. Perfect for clubbing and then stabbing annoying punters.
