I don't think I ever got around to sizing it out properly. From your last post though, are you sure you just don't have the wrong harness going to the wrong globe?

No worries. Just remember no matter what the advice, always take it with a grain of salt. There are a million different guys who are happy to spend your money for you!

What I would suggest would be to start a members ride page, it makes it far simpler to keep track of questions which relate to each other, plus it give more of an insight into the whole of the package and how the answers relate to everything you have done, and plan on doing.
