I'm not easily offended especially in these times. The two things that do offend me, the two that truly make me feel slighted are:
1) the recent rise in cost of these items. I feel it was started by people who dont care about the sport, now followed by those who know they can get the money for their items.

2) room temperature water. I hate room temperature water.


That's it really.

Number 1 hit the nail right on the head, number 2 however is debatable.lol... Seriously though $180 for a used stock thumb throttle or $250 for a used oem cdi on ebay is ridiculous! Fortunately there are still good people on this forum willing to help without being greedy.

Prices are such that I'd consider putting my '86' Hondaline headlite guard up for sale. Red, and in good condition, it should go for big $$$$$$. i really don't like the bubble, but to each their own. I see headlights going for $100.00 and up, and there are so much better options out there.

Oddly enough I don't like the headlight bubble that much either. It's a cool Conversation Piece, I got permission from my local vintage motorcycle show when they have their outdoor shows again I could bring my antique four-wheeler along with all my friends. And I thought putting that bubble on the stock front end, it would be cool to talk about.
