I knew you Indian guys were cheap, but this is ridiculous. A water faucet handle as a steering damper knob???

Chris!
I ran a Matheson gas bottle valve handle on my Pan dampener for a couple of decades.
Now its on my honing machine.
I have a stainless steel fermenter impeller on one of my '49s for a dampener knob.
I'd show you cheap, but I'm not sure you could handle cheap!

My dampener was half broke, took the rest of the top off, now use pliers (from my pouch, riding gear), and my bars are where they need to be. Also used cheap $8 brake light switch with welding rod for connector.Comment

Golly gee, Chris.Originally posted by Chris Haynes View Post
I can see why you figure using some recycled plumbing for a motorcycle part instead of paying a dealer is cheap,
but how does hoarding some "petroliana" for decades turn it around the other way?
I'm so cheap, I bottle my de-humidifier water.
