Are those the original drivers? If not where did you get them? Are they cracked? They appear to be the same as my Cyclone drivers, although appearances can sometimes be deceiving.

They are NOS drivers but they are cracked in some of the same places that my original ones were, but I put them on anyway because I really don't plan on riding it alot so they should last for my usage. :pray: I will have some more pics early next week, it's almost there. :beers; :usa:

Very nice work. Everything looks pretty well new, and it looks like you re-used everything you could. :sled:

Hey Todd If you want to know who did the seat you need to call me and I will explain the situation cause its an good job but not a great job and i kinda got a bad deal out of it. I don't want to tell where on here and have other people go and get the same deal i got, not fair to anybody else. I refuse to send anybody to where it got done. Give me a call when you get a chance(4193468663). I will say IT WASN'T the guy here that does them cause that where I think I will go to have my others done. Ed
