Why eBay rocks, sometimes
Since I'm now a track addict, it's at least possible that I'll lay the bike down at some point.
I hope not (knock wood). But if it does happen, it's likely that various bits and bobs will get bent or broken. Hence rearsets, levers and such. I was thinking of clip-ons, but they don't really do anything differently from the stock pieces (yeah, I know about replaceable bars, but read on). On the other hand, replacing a bent or broken stock bar with a new one is outrageously expensive. From Cheap Cycle Parts: HANDLEBAR, LH 56151-14J00 $130.36 CAP 56131-29G00 $2.59 BOLT (8X32) 09106-08185 $1.99 BALANCER SET, HANDLEBAR 56200-41822 $27.46 That's $162.40 PER SIDE. Nearly $325 for a set of freakin' handlebars??? Eek. Enter the eBay used parts market. Scored these, pristine other than a few scratches from removing the grips, for about $65 shipped for the pair. Cheaper than el-crappo Chinese parts, never mind Woodcraft! So I can't yank a damaged bar out. Big whoop... I'd have to relocate levers and switches anyway, and the way I see it, it's not that much additional effort to pull off the top triple.
