RE: 4 speed hump

[george smith <bt6t4@xxxxxxxxx>]

I found that out too when I put my pedals in.I was
very grateful. They also dimpled the places to drill
and put the rad to hood seal for the clips. Mine came
out looking pretty good.I've been putting off doing
the Z bar cause it's such a pain.I will doi that next
and get an idea how my CF clutch feels and the play.
