Rod, now in Anchorage...a little different from San Antonio? and northern Italy...lol
You have a good memory there Bjorn. I will say one thing, my Bird has been well traveled. Anchorage is pretty nice though, not like you'd think.
I got a quote from a local shop for $1100 for everything to get the rear end swapped, including labor, so I might just do that. If not then I'll look around. Thanks for the info guys.
