Have you contacted Mark Hickey at Habanero? He would be more than happy to
advise you, I'm sure.

Nope..... haven't yet. Hoped maybe he'd see this and
chime in.

If not..... Il email him direct with some pics of my
bike so he can "see" what Im talkin abt. G

At any rate... i wanted to get some opinions on how
best fix the problem first.
