If you were close in NC i have a crankshaft you can have in good shape from a 97 for free. Just pick it up. Let me know.

 

Thank you very much for the offer edwardzx7, unfortunately I live about as far away from NC as possible, I'm in Alaska. Ended up returning the one that didn't fit, seller realized he goofed and made it right. Have one on it's way from a 98.

 

That's awesome news!! Best 'O luck to you (you'll need it to get any riding done this year).
