Why don't you just pinch all the insides off the 90 specs to re-build on the S1 frames? Keep them original

I meant why dont you take both sets apart, and use the foam etc from the 90 specs on the original S1 frames, that way u dont have to put the extra levers on......you get me?

andyt thats a good site
