That's alotta bugs! You have been busy. I am waiting for my 3rd new shifter cable. 1st one I forgot to tie back and it melted on the headers. 2nd one I tied back and it still melted!! We have no idea why. The new cable is a HD one. Should come in tomorrow. I am going to give it to Bill and he is going to put a protective cover over the cable to help with the heat. I don't understand why they don't make a metal shielded cable! Hopfully I can take it on her maiden run in a week or so. Are you going to Cecil?
