But borrowing a certain flasher with a certain config on the otherhand.... :


If I can get one for less than $150, which sounds like I can, than thats pretty reasonable. A mate of mine (a bike rider) mentioned that I should expect $250+!! : Go Kart Shop sounds like a good place to start.

Thanks for all the responses.
