headlight modulators -- somewhat nklr

[Eric and Rheva Lewis]

Hi gang, Just got back from the parts store, I want to do a numer of things--- Avon Gripsters: Front -$95.00 Rear- $136.00 DiD Chain: $71.00 SunStar sprockets: 14 tooth-20.00 Rear-$26.95 Stainless Steel brake lines:Front-$35.00 Rear- $20.00 And the all-important valve adjustment quoted at $280.00.(Sorry, don't have the nice garage to do my own) Do these prices sound reasonable? Take into consideration that I'm in Hawaii so everything is going to be inflated compared to all you haoles : > Eric A8 Mean Green

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Check out these lites at: www.web-rider.net/lifebrite/ I saw them on a dealer's parts counter & they're small, VERY bright & they draw minimal power. I'd like to see them on a bike (both day & night) before I fork over $40 - $50 per pair. What price safety? I've been riding for 31 years and had my first major accident two years ago. I'm finally road-riding now, but can't even think of casual trail riding or getting in over my head with my 399.997 lb beast. Professor '95 KLR650-A9 Federal Way, WA [USA]
