i understand that this is not the smartest thing to take on. it may even be stupid. don't really care. fighting on the internet about it seems even more so. i am not doing a restore, i am doing a rebuild. i don't mind cable clamps. i have pretty much located or have lines out on all the parts i'll need, after some research i found the phil and vo bbs.

back to the subject...yes, my moto had the hanger mount on the drop until it met with an angle grinder. should i just have a new drop put on it? that is probably my best bet, right? what does a shop charge (ballpark) for that?
