Couple of lenghts of rope attached to the linkage and you shoud be good to go. Steering posts are over rated...really.

How long till it arrives?

Not sure... A guy my father knows is doing it for me.

Hey just so you guys know. If you are going to golden and any of you have a trail camera for hunting, install it in the parking lot close to your truck. 7 trucks were broken into over the weekend and they took everything they could get. Windows were smashed out, trailer mutalated with a axe, etc. Funny thing is, that all of the units hit were from alberta or either the states. So just a reminder, lock everything u can and take all valuables out at the hotel. Just bring what u need for the day. It happened at quartz creek, silent pass, Along HWY 1 by quartz, Hope, ETC. Just dont want anyone to get you vehicle vandilized.

Thats to bad I guess they win I won't go to Golden now. Which also means my cash will not be spent in Golden, so if no one wants to spend the money to stop this crap I won't give them my money...pretty simple.

The quartz guys were not hit until late day and the trail fee people are gone by noon usually. Yes blue lake was also hit, But it is still BS that people are doing this. Ill be hittin revy or sicamous from now on. I have ordered a trail camera so when i do ride there next i can put in the parking lot and make sure that it is set to take good pics from a distance. Cause i can say this much, i dont want my trauck broken into. Buddy was at golden all week (3-9) and he said that he ended up putting his sled on his buddys truck from golden so it did not happen to him.

3 of us will be heading to Golden on Sat from Airdrie and will more than likely ride Gorman both days will be riding 1 doo and 2 m's. As catzuki said there have been several vehicles broke into over the last few weekends and they seem to be targeting all areas so ensure you leave anything of value at the motel.
