yeah mine was in the first lot of VINs also. As soon as i c one of the update kits ill let you guys kow what all comes with it and everything. Shouldnt be but about an hour to do the job, so the bikes wont be down for very long.

Dragon RR · 01-16-2009, 03:51 PM

my predicament is the only shop i trust (used to work for) is 2.5 hours away. called one of my buddies and he's gonna see if the owner might send me a kit, but i doubt it. might consider finding a local shop but they'd have to be fine with me helping the mechanic do it.

JJPLUML · 01-16-2009, 03:56 PM

ouch thats no bueno. If I was you Id call the shop and set up an appointment so you could ride down and theyd have the pats in stock, they can do the service, and you can ride home. Shouldt be to much of a hassle. An experianced tech will be able to do the job in less then an hour.
