I'm just going to note.  Stephens will give it to you hard on the core
charges as well, with the prices FGA lists perhaps even considering the core
charge they aren't so bad.  And I've found Stephens and AVP "quality" to be
somewhere between questionable and laughable.  AVP is quite liberal and will
give you your core money for near anything, which makes you wonder about
their parts, made me wonder why a seat collapsed from day 1 and lasted about
5000 miles on a 2000cc rebuild.  Stephens screws you for the core and
delivers ill machined or incompletely machined junk (waterboxer head
experience.)  So all things considered, somebody should try these guys out
and give a definative answer.  The air cooled charges aren't so bad after
all, wasserboxers are a bit hefty.  Some may say I've been unlucky with
vendors, I say I've just been a bit more descriminating than the average 16
year old kid.  We've heard about the core policy from FGA but no real pans
on quality I recall in the last 4-5 years so who knows?
