thanks, I got it Thursday, it only took 3 days to get here. I have inspected it and everything is legit! what a deal almost too good to be true. i'm gonna do the mock up today so I can let andy know where I need the sprocket plate for the rear axle alignment. my bro is a machinist and he is making my rear hub and axle assy' from scratch out of dom tube and 3/8" plates-heavy duty! I hope this tav30 works ok with my tech 10hp. I am putting front and rear racks, electric start that I got from andy, a battery, top mount gas tank, lights and a large oversized seat for 2-up with the wife all on the el burro as a pack mule for shroomin and scouting. I weigh 265, the wife is 160 and with all the trimmings and add ons it's gonna be about as heavy as an actual burro-lol-thanks to all of you who replied, it's good to know this info it saved me big bucks! much appreciated men!
