Let’s not throw the accountants under the bus. Usually it is the marketing and engineering teams that specify changes. Customer resistance to the retail price for improvements dictate compromise.

Bbbbbut I am an engineer. I am now hurt beyond measure. :geek: Okay I am done crying now. I would argue that these changes were commensurate with the evolution in technology and were sensible. Things like alternators...how dare they. But, this is why the old stuff is always more cool.

Hey, I know that guy.... He's crazy.

At least the red wheel showed up in a box on his doorstep... That silly fool drove all the way to Devore California and back, to pick up the other 4 wheels to go along with the red one...

He's nuts :mrgreen:
