I had quite a few people being aggressive in there cars towards me. I bit back a few times but it just aggravated me as I'm not exactly going to hold them up.

fitted this. At the same time i installed a new top mount and linkage. I had noticed the linkage fitted to the bike was after market and presumed it to make the rear end taller. i have changed it to stock and it was a lowering kit. I thought it turned in pretty quick before im guessing its going to be even faster now.
