Default Think fast

Scenario: 2001 Honda RC51, you just spent $600 dollars on parts for repairs and have $100 left over for mods, what do you do?

$100 for mods? Grips? Bar end mirrors? One pazzo?

Bar ends, meh. The grips are held on by safety wire and are still functional, so probably not. Pazzo, maybe. But the question there is, for the stock clutch or the brembo master cylinder?

BMC air filter or pay a shop to set up your suspension for your weight and riding style.

This sounds good, block off plates from Dan Kyle and a little bit of wire.
