77' Cyclone Vent Foam?

Did the 77' cyclones come with foam strips on top and outside of the lovered panels that face you at your knees? I just repainted mine and they came out awesome however in doing the prep work I noticed what appeared to be old adhesive on those two sides. Top and outside edge. If there was/is suppose...

cyclone brake cable reinstall issue

So exactly how does one get the cable back into the grip so i can hook it to the new lever i just got? the only way i can see is to slip the cable into the little "slot" in the grip housing but the freeking thing wont go in. there just isnt enough room. it came out that way rather easy.......

Re: Pi$$ed off!!!!!!!!

dealer porked you. Take your business elsewhere even if they are the local dealer. If his word isnt any good then what the hell would be? take it as a lesson learned, maybe even better off for you in the long run.
