    :gah:Just an update on my tranny woes, Took bike out and in under 35 mi. the C clip that wasn't insalled right.(holds one of the shafts bearings on the right side) fell out and the main shaft shifted...Guess the rest! destroyed most of the gears $$$$. Indy says it's on him, will replace everything with new. More down time. "Jonezen" for my bike.

    Oh he's way beyond his proffit. He charged 450 labor for re-build+price of besrings,maybe a c note. This is costig him big! I feel sorry for him,Owned up to it imediately. Good guy. Kicking himself hard. Only thing it's costing me is saddle time. Because of his integritty,I would still recomend him. We all screw up , sometimes big.

    well at least you are getting it fix for nothing and while all these guys up north put there bikes away for winter projects , we start having the best sadle time in the country , hang in there dont push him at this point its costing him money and at this point you dont want him to rush to get it done. just think next month it starts to cool off a little and we start to smile at those 70 deg early morning rides!!!!!
