What kind of parts? Ohlins for a bike = $800+, but I could get an adjustable Koni for a car for only like $150 each.
Or how about tires? Two tires for $250-300?........I could easily buy a set of 4 car tires for that. Oil and filters........again, more for the bike. Last edited by Homeslice; 05-18-2009 at 11:53 PM.. |

Same think for auto tires - your $250-300 set isn't going to perform very well. |
