Very nice, I've been considering this swap but haven't had the need (yet).

Yes, Martin has a few held hostage. They were supposedly for Greta, but Hawk stickers were removed and replaced with Cobalt, while I see no CSTG stickers, so not sure what's happening with them. More will be made eventually.

<p>Good news is. Got a V1 for 250 on ebay.</p><p>Bad news is my license might get suspended because of tickets. Got a couple calls out to lawyers, well see what they say.</p><p>Accidentally sent the harness stuff to my old address, but the lady at the post office dug through all of their packages (bless her soul) and found mine, scratched off the old address and mailed it to me, should be here tomorrow.</p>

That's what I did, except I replaced the upper clutch switch with a bolt because I broke the dumbass little plastic plunger off. I'm pretty damn happy with how my clutch works, otherwise. It's pretty close to the floor, but still plenty of slack in the master and for shifting.

No more launch control for me though lol

Mr. Picky would like to point out that they are counterbored, not countersunk.

<p>Technically i believe they are countersunk. I used a normall drillbit. If I wanted to be even more baller I would have brought it to the mill at work and bored it out flat.</p><p>I was making do with what I had, and it seems to work so far lol.</p>
