Hello HemiDenny
Every things great down here at the moment. My AP6 Valiant is going to the painters in a 2 or 3 weeks depending on when they can do it, So looking forward to that.
I haven’t been to the US yet!!, Buy I’m sure I will get there eventually, I would love to come over and watch your mopar Nat’s, If it`s anything like our big advent: mopar Sunday: I probably wouldn’t want to come home LOL.
Has anybody got a DVD of your mopar Nat’s?? I would love to have a look at it.....I would pay to get it shipped over here.
Cheers Doug

Did the tsunami / earthquake hurt your inventory?
 
Yep, all the component mafg. Are within about 50 miles of where tsunami came in so even though our plants are ok no parts to build with. Top that off with Suzuki not building 2010 models for the U.S. And everyone else cutting production for 2010 that left the market with very little inventory in stock, then tsunami hits mid prduction for 2011 and wham no product to sell. I don't have anything smaller than 1300cc in the stores right now which really hurts because the mid size stuff is our meat and potatos. Used bikes are bringing retail at auction it's just a mess rights now. Worst part is we were finally digging out of the recession stuff, just sucks right now.

Comtech gaskets, we had to cut the heads to remove O-ring grove so ordered the stackable ones to get the compression where we want it, not ideal but better than leaving the groove and a whole lot cheeper than buying the stage V heads at the moment.
