Need to borrow an oil filter wrench... pretty please.

I'll bet they make a special one for you every Christmas seeing as how you've spent 5 years salary with them.

i like how you think i've spent that much.

i'm quite the frugal shopper.

Billet suspension hoop isn't Rizoma (there's looked different), and was obtained used.

Rizoma Oil Cooler Guard was used, and a discontinued piece. Thanks, eBay!

Rizoma Rearsets and Belt Covers - new. Belt covers purchased before the change in EU-->USD conv., Rearsets were a deal since I weren't sure they'd bolt up, and I'd shopped with ol' PJ for many years.
Rizoma turn signals and clutch plate/cover - new. Stock turn signals are ooogly and plastic, these aren't. Many duc owners change their clutch cover and pressure plate, I happened to choose Rizoma over SpeedyMoto.

And now I'm fresh out of Rizoma pieces as far as I know.

Ebay is tops    Almost every mod - billet and CF - on my 620 was "pre-owned"    I found several really trick parts that had long-since discontinued by various manufacturers... Gotta love bargain shopping

That's how I've rolled. Find a vendor/manufacturer going tits-up (as the saying goes), and raid 'em. That is, only with parts you don't often or ever need replacements on. Clutch pressure plates / covers, random gears/pulleys, etc.

I wouldn't buy close-out discontinued bars. One bent one and no replacement and you are screwed!

the guilty mind speaks!  an awful lot of words to explain something so simple.

snubbing your nose at The (retail) Man is a m.o. that never goes out of fashion

agreed. I got my CycleCat sprocket cover for 35 when others were paying 100+. VeeTwo parts when the AUD is weak compared to the USD.

silly dax, rizoma doesn't make tools. (but it is billet)

It's a shame they don't
They would be good lookin'
