That's a pretty awesome deal for polished Aluminum. Way to go sherm! I made the mistake of going with UPS for the glow plugs before Christmas. The shipping and brokerage fees ended up a fair bit more than the plugs. Plugs$58, shipping $26, brokerage $50. Other guys have had no problems, so you may be OK. Just no guarantees I'm afraid.

there was 4-6 of them on the derby yesterday... i spoke to a few of the guys with them and they love them while they're running, but each of them has spent as much time in the shop as riding. lots of little electrical problems, trans issues... not things i'd expect from such a big contender.

Things I wouldnt expect either, but good to know. I can actually see electrical issues, because, well, look at all the electronics on a quad of every brand these days, its ridiculous! And I know they have more then most.
How did ya do in the derby? I bet it was a hell of alot of fun!
