which issue? the kentict exhaust was $990!!!! i returned it for a refund after 2 failed attempts to fix it. i got alo of my parts for really good deals. I lost money on my 2 sets for progressive shocks for sure i had 11" 440 and 12"444. the sik pipes would pick the ground on turns.

the V&H was on sale $600
powercommanard was $199
figure machine sprocket cover was $170 or less used from a follow member.
mags where $250
mono tubes for $224
shock were more money then i wanted to spend, after i order the bitubes for $525 Dk told me there wre special order and would take a month so i just got the pro action for $777 ouch.
