BRT....everybody on this post that replied has your best interest at heart. The comment from Erik made me laugh pretty hard. Can you imagine the "Revenuers" blowing down your door? Thanks Erik, that was a visual image that made my day. My reply was meant to help you if you have your own rods, what to look for in a good rod and if you have the belt sander or access to one, you can beam them yourself. Nothing like learning how to do it. You should always have a reputable shop recon the rods when prepped. If you have questions of how to do it without hassle or fear, too many articles on the web and in the newstand rags to help you know when to start, when to finish, and when you have a good piece. Costs nothing but time and keeps your budget for the next build available. Everybody has budget built a motor to keep a good ride under their feet and it can be done affordably. Look for a good rod if you don't already have them and play a bit, it's fun and great therapy. It's not like you're asking for the moon, just a good unit to work with your idea. Thanks Erik, now I can't get that image out of my mind.....
