wow... who is "cutting off" their hi-lo stick? That sounds like hack work to me... Is THAT how you work on your machine?
I had asked a while back if someone knew hot to take the shifter off, and people say to start hacking away...... really?!?! So, for all the folks out there who supposedly have swapped their own engines, that's how you took the hi-lo shifter off?
I'd rather be informed than highly opinionated!!!
