Reality prevailed and I'm taking the repair path and ordered Top End Rebuild Kit for Cylinders C yesterday....http://tyga-performance.com/product_info.php?products_id=2334 along with OEM wheel bearings and a carbon meter cover to obscure the deteriorated foam.

Other purchases made on Yahoo!Japan via jauce.com yesterday...shipping and minimal bank charges to be added but even so still good prices for unobtainable OEM equipment...


OEM chainguard...$10.


great set of mirrors $18...and yes I checked the actual mirrors are still in place.


toolkit...$55...too much money but I love having original tool kits.
