I'm thinking you're the only one willing to admit it, after spending that kind of coin.

Prob with cutting the atoakers is you can no longer hit the track. Without the ball end you won't pass tech

And in PA, they are the cause of state inspection scrutiny. Trust me, I know.

cutting stock levers are just gonna look bad, and will still feel flimsy/cheap....but if ya dont want shorter levers, i know pazzo makes stock length ones too,

Lol. I wish I could blame it on the booze. It was just somebody with little mechanical knowledge. I figured, you put the mirror on, tighten the screw and you're done. He somehow managed to break the part of the mirror that connected to the bar end. As in, he was tightening the wrong screw, and broke something he didn't even need to touch.

I also showed him how to take off his front tire. He attempted it and stripped 3 screws out of 4 on his fender. We've agreed that it's just cheaper for him to get raped by the shop money wise, than to pay to fix the damage he causes.
