Now that I have a "new" bike, all I think about all day is what mods I want for it.

-Power commander
-steering damper
-05 r6/04-06 r1 radial master cylinder (cheaper upgrade compared to brembo 19x18)
-shorty levers (already got these)
-ss brake lines

PC and steering dampers are EXPENSIVE though. Should I go for used?

There's a group buy deal on cycle sector for a GPR V4, total comes out to be almost $400

Currently talking to a guy who's selling his Scotts dampener for $265 shipped

I'm more inclined to get the Scotts, even though I don't really dig the gold color...
Any opinions?

Really? Don't you have to like bleed the brakes and everything? I heard that's a b*tch. I'm waiting for a good deal on lines anyway.

Yes you do. You have to bleed the shit out of them. Does your bike have a radial master cylinder?

I actually just changed my master cylinder this week. All that, took like 2 hours. That was lines off, change cylinders, make everything actually fit right and not bang into other parts, reassemble everything, fill reseviour, bleed lines.

I have a radial coming in the mail. It's an 05 r1 MC.

Yo my friend and I are gonna order some ASV shorty levers F3's factory Refurbished for 45 a pop. If anyone else wants to jump on it'll be cheaper shipping.

I guess I just want one set for the brake, but it might look nicer if I have a pair so brake and clutch lever for 90. Any inputs on this?

*Edit: Never mind, I see that you already got them.

Wow nice, 45 for ASVs is a great deal. Yeah I already got my shorties. I would think that it makes more sense to put the lever on the clutch side, but whatever floats your boat! I'd get a pair just to have a matching set Tongue
