Mike steals Dave's gas and saves a bundle!!

I did the R6 forks. I searched R6 forums to purchase mine and ended up with everything I needed with less than 1000 miles in perfect condition for less than $100. I also was able to buy the fender mounts and spacers. Sure the R6 forks are adjustable but realistically most people get them...
