I think I may take the bike to the shop and have them put it back in though. I didn't realize just how much dexterity I needed working on things with my left. and how much hand strength I lost...
Is there anyone around you who could give you some help? It would suck to have to pay a shop for that especially when you just need a bit of extra strength.

not really... and actually I just talked to the shop... they're gonna let me put it in there, and where I need help they're gonna hook me up. The owner is a kick ass guy. he wont let me pay, but I think the least I can do is buy'm all lunch

Cool on both counts. That shipping rate is pretty damn good too. I'm paying $5 to have .2lbs of gaskets shipped via UPS ground to me right now. $25 per lb isn't so good.

So the motor and bike are at the shop, with my schedule the next couple weeks and the damn weather, I'd rather pay the $200+ and have it rather than it sit any longer
