Now that Spring is upon us in the Frozen Tundra, I got to throw a few things on the T5.

New repop seat, horncast and badges from SIP, small bits tray, FA Italia rims with S1s.

Still need to dial in the clutch, but it cruises well around the neighborhood..

Any recommendation for a front shock for it? Budget priced, not one of those $300 jobbies

Brand?

Most likely will buy from SIP, as I now have cheap shipping options.

I've been using YSS for a while now and I'm really happy with them.
