That ^^^ I was gonna save up and get a Blackbird Fabworx half cage sent over but thats like $1500+ so im just gonna add more bars to the cusco bar i bought for the time being.

I know people dont really like these types of bars but i have seen them work in a bad accident so im all for them :)

Have you purchased much thru RHD Japan before? Is that where the seats from? I love the gear, nice progress!

I'd trust these tabs over a bd bar any day.

Yeah it's good to see whats available on that site but Jesse is always cheaper :)

Yep if you read what I said. It's only temporary till I wanna spend the money on a better one. It's going to do its job and it will stiffen the chassis.

Ur advice is not really needed here thanks ^^
