Yeah that's my plan this weekend. the part actually was only $35 and $2 for rush which cut it down to a week... so hopefully they'll have it by this weekend... but if not... I've got some electrical issues to solve that I've not bothered to do before, but since it's down and I'm bored... (horn and heated grips)
