Wayne the Ram Man - A warning
Man, that sucks. It sounds as if he makes the rounds at shows. Chances are you will bump into him at some point. I pity the fool! I used to have a Triumph Spitfire. I bought a used part I found on car-part.com and had Brake and Equipment rebuild it for me. All for less than $100. Maybe you can find a beat up one and get it resleeved locally? I can't help you with what already went down, but I can help you find another.
