Your post expresses sentiments similar to my post of a few days ago. List a
few articles you think could use an upgrade and some people accuse you of
hating the ST or wanting a complete over-haul. Rubbish. Even minor things
like LED's, adjustable seat height/comfort..etc. I don't think it is too
much to ask for minor improvements over the YEARS. As far as after
market...if there wasn't JL they would be almost nothing.
