OK, I'm glad we're on the same page because that's exactly what I thought the deal was with the Auto lever. I'll keep watching this thread to see if there are any updates on the Auto...as I'll definitely be picking one up!

Making the attaching fitting for the CVT will not be a problem at all.

The Auto shift lever is even more expensive than the CVT. And I didn't want to seem greedy when I spoke with the parts guy at Patrick; so what I'll do is hit him up for an Auto lever, after I've returned the CVT one (and the manual lever that they sent me by mistake).

I've already made a drawing of the CVT, I'll do the same with the Auto.

At this point, I don't foresee any problem with the attchment fitting for the Auto; but whether it will be the same exact fitting as the CVT, I can't say.

I don't think white or light grey would work... the only light colors left are due to not being able to paint them... it's black or pink... LOL.. or chrome... but that's a tough material to make look right... LOL

how about black with pink stitching!

That works.

Redline doesn't list pink thread - but I bet they can get some...

And maybe they can make her a set of thigh high stilleto platforms to match... u lucky dog u...

I traded in my R50 a few weeks back, and couldn't find my stock **** anywhere :(. So I had to trade in my Whalen.
