cheapness or uniqueness??
« on: November 30, 2008, 10:31:10 PM »
I was just wandering, would people prefer aftermarket bike parts such as ohlins suspension, aftermarket exhausts, brembo mc's etc where dirt cheap or that they are priced fine as they are cause it brings a little uniqueness to your bike since very few other people have them???

it's all about personal modification and the cheaper the better, albeit like you've said we mostly modify in exactly the same way as the next guy which is funny as hell really  [rofl]

i think the most unique bike would be the one that is still completely standard like it left the factory, no crash bungs & seat cowl still with rubber brake lines!  :-P

thats cheapness AND uniqueness!!!  [rofl]
