klr and the msf

[JWF]

This site is great. A bunch of model-specific (not KLR) SS screw sets, etc., and one all-purpose metric set. The best thing is they play this great Muzak version of Born to be Wild while you shop. I haven't bought anything there, I just think it's cool. http://www.mmsacc-stainless.com/html/motorcycle.htm
