    No apologies needed. Leaky blinker fluid is nothing to mess with.

    Anyone need a pair of load bars for their Diamondback? I have two with feet... brand new and never used. $300 or best offer... Doesn't include the rails that attach to the cover.

    Any of you boys go golfing? I'm just getting into the sport and wanted to find a fun course to learn at.

    I live about a mile away from Falconhead, I'm not good enough to justify their greens fees.........

    Jimmy Clay down south is a cheap public course to knock and chase your balls around on.

    Any aftermarket are ok at best. CVJ are also ok at best. OEM are better, then reman OEM should be similar to new OEM. @CedarPark can tell you all about CV's.

    Wouldn't you like to know!
    I have CVJ replacements and they have held up the past 2 years but I haven't put them to much use since then either :bananadead:

    Edit: they were pricey too...more so than a OEM remanufactured one.
