Mart you are right. There are reasons there are improvements to things. Reason things work backwards when swapping, hardly ever forward. Less you switching over completely to a new setup.

Clem,
Sounds like you have a real problem there(right).

I had a Harley in my younger days, would take girls for rides. The faster I went, the tighter they held on. Darn girls almost got me killed!

Thanks tinker.

I just looked at by gas peddle. The wire harness runs behind the arm blocking the arm from moving to the max position? Now what? Also my newly installed heater hose rubs the gas peddle line... More fun.
