Oh crap if figures NOW they do somthing like this..
I got to pass it up, still in dog house over last sale.
But if they make this offer again... say in 3 months.....
The percentage you're paying is too high-priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams

I was thinking bout boring the the 03... but kinda decided against it. Mainly the cost. But then they do this...
Can they do this again just before my aunt comes over next time (she's in Ohio)? I really don't what to have to pay the highwayman known as the Chancellor any more than I do already....

Buy now and have your Auntie stow it away until she makes the trip. It not like bread. It won't go stale.

That's what I did as soon as I found them after buying my bike 4 years ago. I bought it, sat on it for about a year then put it in.
For this price, grab em up fast!!!

So for those of us not quite confident enough in our wrenching abilities to attempt this upgrade, what could we expect to pay to have a 'real' mechanic do the work?

There was the cost.... but I've had a call from my solicitor and my injury claim from the crash is about to pay..... so I may yet.... but I'll have to seek advise from a higher source... I'll call my dad tomorrow... he's the one who's gonna end up doing it!

Thanks Pat. Almost sounds do-able.
