  2. Rear Wheel Conversion (Car Wheel) 15 Sep 2012 04:20 To each his own beck. I think people are allowed to do what they want with their money per specific taste. Your idea of good handling and another riders idea of good handling are in most scenarios, not the same. I am…

  16. 97 vfr750 streetfighter project! 17 Jul 2011 13:57 Oh man how could I forget to mention the weight difference between the stock subframe and the r6 sub frame! Night and day difference. In comparison the r6 subframe weighs almost nothing when compared to the stock one.…
