A good solid drill press is a great first step into the world of machine shop tools! One of those "how did I ever manage without this" kind of tools.<br>

<div class="PlainText">Morning Eric. On my RS I added YSS shocks. The decision was based on improved ride and handling tempered by cost. I thought it was a decent compromise.

drill press. The guy who sold me the bike built metal furniture and wants to sell me his welder, cutting torches and drill press.<br>

all have any rear-suspension preferences to go with the improvements offered by the emulators.<br>
