But then, didn't some airline reduce ONE olive from each of the salad that they serve (this is from a long time ago, when they serve real food.. LOL!), and they ended up saving like a million dollars a year or something like that.

So things do add up, when you make enough of them!!

Those rear shocks look like Frog re-re shocks. Can you confirm, LB?




well, the shock body looks similar, but the top mounting point is black plastic on my Brat. however, those dogbones and output cups look identical to the ones sitting in my parts bin.

Hey LB,
