I am extrmely impressed with the way the Japanese have put this thing together!!! I am actually looking forward to tearing it down again to rebuild the rear end and tranny!!!
I am quite disappointed that I was not able to ride today, tomorrow I will have to return to work:-( I have dropped enough $$$ to buy another one... But at least i know what I have here...
My dealings with most of the Vendors specializing in these buggies has left a bitter taste in my mouth. I believe they have lost some future revenue due to poor customer service. I believe it is time for me to start colleecting a few parts buggies for myself. I have already spent close to $450.00 on three "used" items and none were usable. I had to take parts from one and swap around just to get something to work...

Welcome to the world of discontinued manufactured items in need of repairs and restoration.
You could just go out and buy something fresh and new with hopes of parts availabilty for at least few years.
