Re: Replacement Nordfab Seal Material
I've replaced some of mine with the white roll sticky backed seal material that you can get at home depot or Lowe's. I'll try to look up the specific details later. Marlowe McGraw

Re: I did something stupid!

Re: I did something stupid!
David, good point. Mine is an American Rotary and doesn¡¯t have a disconnect. Michael, the original poster, has an AR also, different model though. So this may or may not apply.

Re: I did something stupid!

Did you try the bike though? They are great fun, and one of the things that make me love Minnesota winters. I highly recommend giving it a shot. Fun in other conditions, not just snow. Just don't ride
