Hello HighPlainsDifter I see a Goldwing in your avatar .I think you may have the same on some Goldwing sites. I just found it to be interesting that you as well as myself have a cobra and also ride goldwings. I am leaving from california and headed to the keys going to ride the gulf down and back up on the atlantic side north as far as virginia then start heading west. Sorry to hear about your luck. I also was going to build instead ,I found a backdraft in near perfect condition so, I purchased it.Not a engineer but a retired sheetmetal worker 5 year apprenticeship 30 years in the trades worked with tons of cal poly engineers,we all got along just great there are some really good engineers coming out of there.
