it'll go on.

the flywheel isn't even torqued down yet and when we opened the release bearing one of the little grabbers (that holds the fork on either side) was cracked off

So I had to run to advanced auto and buy a new one for almost 30 bucks

There are a couple other minor problems that will be fixed tomorrow

I'll post details and pics soon

It took 6 of us 2 days.
Could have gone faster I suppose, but for the most part we did pretty quick work.
Had to go to autozone numerous times (details later)

The only thing I see wrong with any of it....is in the very last post. You made us clink to HT to see your pricing. Shoulda made them click a link to here.

Good job though glad to hear you got it done, and that is a pretty decent price too.
