Don't know the difference and don't care either, just like everybody else here, but there is some homo at vTr that has a purple spring on his Maygo Brako that may be able to help you.

I'm sure Ted would swap you some Ohlins for a can of diesel Scotty......it's pretty rare around the Penrith area supposedly...only available on pension day.

Whatever Mongo.

I saw his black 490 at Gloucester today. Now that is a work of art. That is until you get to the two boingy things holding the back up. It must have been off dole cheque week when he bought them.

You're right, he's a povo westie shacker tryhard from Ivan Milat's playground.
