Frank, Larry and anyone else.

I have one of these, part number 282 422 417, that I had planned on putting
on my Syncro before I traded it but never did.  I posted earlier about it but
never received a response.  My asking price is $110 Canadian.  There is
someone on the air-cooled list that may be interested however I have not
received anything certain from him.

Let me know if you are interested.
