Bill, Rick Marrett at I-40 Auto Service in Black Mountain saved my butt a couple years ago. Folks in Black Mountain told me he used to be known as the "Bug Doctor". Anyway, he did a first class job on a clutch job. And the new fork, all bearings, clutch parts and surfacing of the fly wheel, and my rental car for a week so I could make my trip to New Orleans cost less than the PO had paid in Durham (twice, they were not replacing the fork or center piece, so the thowout bearing kept failing) for the clutch that failed within 10k miles. Rick, and his family were very good people, they actually came out to the shop on Sunday so we could pick up the Westy and get back to Durham. Good luck. Travel well, hope to see you at EveryBus in April.
