A few people have been scammed on the site, Only use paypal to pay for items for sale by other members. If they will not use paypal, its likely a scam NEVER SEND E-TRANSFERS OF ANY KIND.
What's the price? And what happens with the brake and clutch brackets which attach to the OEM speedometer bracket? I'm thinking longer lines for those two. Not a big deal if you're already modifying the bars. Hmmmmmm

Hey R18C, if nothing else, thanks for organizing this. You really poured a lot of effort into it and seem genuinely convinced that it's a worthwhile mod. That conviction prompted my signing up. Kudos my man. 🍻
