Ringo, I got the same deal with my TQ, course I'm not running a Honda, I'm running a 600 Yamaha, and it is very competitive, and a whole bunch cheaper, like you say, all stock parts, off Ebay, only thing I had to buy new, was rod bolts, at $3.00 each. I don't have the clutch and transmission, but I can light er up on jackstands, and ck things out. I had to do something, even tho I never had any trouble with rods, $13-1600.00 bucks for 4, is rediculas. And Amen, on the last part! Bob
