Damn...how hard were you pulling back on it? Isn't bending a fork pretty difficult to do?

Not hard at all, and bending forks ain't as hard as you would think

Stop that foolishness... The Short Shifter was the cause of a blown Tranny? You're nuts.

Default Thanks - I haven't heard back from him yet. He told me last week just do get it to him....
I wanted to confirm though before leaving for the trip.

If I don't hear back, I might just drop it on his front lawn, ring the door bell and run.

Default I've never owned a B&M (I've had Neuspeed, UUC, Tanoga and ToyGuy)- ->
I have driven the B&M and didn't find it as nice as the ToyGuy.
