I am the guy in Alaska who bought both the motor (which by the way is the shiznit) and almost all of the other project parts from flyguy, and let me just say the parts were bent in such away and in such a spot that they were not noticable with the average persons eye doing a good inspection. I did a fairly good once over of the parts when i got them and they looked good, and i have many banshees and many different parts so i am pretty confident in what to look for. Only when i tried to install them did i notice anything wrong. I dont know anything about the parts before flyguy had them (they could have been damaged shipping them twice) but i dont hold him resposible at all, sh$%* happens, i know he was not tryin to rip anyone off, IN FACT I THINK 98FLYGUY IS THE BEST PERSON I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH ONLINE, EITHER HERE OR ON EBAY. And also I know its USED PARTS and that means you have to expect certain things, and while i was oooing and aawwing over parts that iwant, i want, i want, i still know no matter what they are still used parts. I have not been ripped off for near as much as 98flyguy and im sure he is pissed, we have all felt what he feels. Just wanted to throw my two cents in.
