Your mod is aftermarket work.

Re: Shuttle needed-windshields from LA to PDX Dave Dunn

Feel free to drop by my place after you pick it up, I can answer most of your questions and show you how to access the mapping and engine tuning.
Bring a memory stick and you can have picture and tech files on the build.

Re: Haflinger

Front chains are 87cm end to end.
front end has 2 larger links to adjust hight and the other roll bar end has a mini spring gate type clip.
There is also a fabric sleeve covering 2/3 of the chain.
