Oh and WERA board ftw.

Popularity makes a HUGE difference.

Yes, every bike has a decent aftermarket contingent but what matters is can you get those parts in time for the next session?

If you are 4, 6, 8+ hours from home it doesn't matter what you can find on www.yourbike'sdedicatedforum.com next Tuesday, it matters what you can find at the track NOW.
