    Will do. You know, this problem goes back to the guy that sold me the roller. I knew all the parts (except the Paughco frame) were used. After all, his business is selling used HD parts. So far, I've had to replace a lot of the stuff that came with it. For instance: all of the fork internals, the upper fork tubes (2" too long), risers & top clamp, wheel spacers, rotor, sprocket, both axels, wheel bearings & nearly all the bolts and nuts. It's a buyer beware situation, I know, but many of the flaws were hidden. I was just seeing the potential of the bike and I guess it sort of blinded me to the faults.
    Now, there's used and then there's abused and I reckon I found out the hard way the difference between the two. I'm still finding out.
