It is unquestionably riding season in St. George already, so lets get together very soon. You'll have my email and phone #s off of my response to Kathy, or I'll email you. How are the roads from Cedar City to Enterprise to Snow Canyon? Thanks.

I found one that might be a lot cheaper than getting mine rebuilt but don't know if it fits in the same housing. The part is in another state so I can't look at it first hand.
