I'm just going to note. Stephens will give it to you hard on the core charges as well, with the prices FGA lists perhaps even considering the core charge they aren't so bad. And I've found Stephens and AVP "quality" to be somewhere between questionable and laughable. AVP is quite liberal and will give you your core money for near anything, which makes you wonder about their parts, made me wonder why a seat collapsed from day 1 and lasted about 5000 miles on a 2000cc rebuild. Stephens screws you for the core and delivers ill machined or incompletely machined junk (waterboxer head experience.) So all things considered, somebody should try these guys out and give a definative answer. The air cooled charges aren't so bad after all, wasserboxers are a bit hefty. Some may say I've been unlucky with vendors, I say I've just been a bit more descriminating than the average 16 year old kid. We've heard about the core policy from FGA but no real pans on quality I recall in the last 4-5 years so who knows? John janderson@iolinc.net |
