    Yeah I know the guys at action cycle. My buddys cousin used to work there. He was a total douche, so I have refused to go there for the last 3 years

    50$ is a great price IMO!!

    It's "easy" for guys that are use to working with correct tolerances and dial indicators/v-blocks.

    And even easier to screw it up......
