    I hate you guys..

    Yeah, I'm already kicking myself for passing on a couple of the used ones. OTOH, I rode my conversion today and it went pretty good. I think I'm getting it set, but it's still heavy as heck. Not much I can do about that except to continue lightening the engine. :roll: Mark
