Way to score the 1717 before they went the way of the Dodo bird. Castle just found some more the other day and they were all gone within hours.
Surprised you were able to retain the new era roll bar and get the brick to fit in there, coolness.
I ordered a few from Castle yesterday, as well as a few co-workers, my office alone collectively bought 10 of their 1717's. lol! I had a friend who was going to give me $2000 to buy as many as possible with but by the time he called me with CC info they were sold out, BUGGGGGER!
The one thing I wasn't willing to do with the conversion was lose my roll bar so I figured out a way to git-r-done. She spends more time on her top now than ever, hahaha.
I actually need to buy a bigger pinion as I've recently switched from running "monster" tires to 40 series low profile race tires which have killed my top end.
