    Yup, I'm pretty sure that the tranny is locked in nice and tight. No wiggle play there at all Thomas! its most definetly the chain adjuster coming off the T-20,, definitely!!!

    Thanks for the suggestion!!

    Fred, make sure you post what you do to correct the problem on your Hustler as I am interested in the solutions people are coming up with and how they work out in real world situations and use.

    Thanks, Keith.

    Ok, no problem at all Keith. I'll post when I return from Busco. It's feels good to have a helping hand, and in my case, a few helping hands.

    Thanks Thomas, from the looks of it, Brian got me covered. I'll let you know if I need anything. You are coming to busco to debut your beast, right?

    P.s. I didnt forget either, I'll swing by your house on the way back from Busco!!

    Thanks Brian, I do appreciate it. I'll bring everything that you need to get me rolling again. Since I'm bringing the Hustler I won't be leaving Ga until the afternoon, so that puts me in NC late Thursday night and at Busco early Friday morning. Thanks again dude.

    p.s. what brand of beer do you like!

    Thanks to Brian and Mike (Racerone3 and Hydromike) I took my 980 Hustler to Busco. Brian supplied me with a chain adjuster that had two bolts and unistrut nuts. It secured the chain into the new unistrut channel that i had that Brian welded for me. Thanks to you two gents,,,,, I was running the whole weekend, even led the Saturday Night Ride. It was great. This was the first time that I wasnt broke at busco for the majority of the weekend. Thanks again guys

    p.s. I can't forget about you Lewis, I think I got a bolt or two from you also, Thanks!!!

    You also got a 2 bolt bracket out of my parts bucket. Glad we got you rolling. Otherwise you would have been stuck in my backseat of the Conquest after I split the sidewalls out on the Hustler.
