Come on fellas, help the lad out. I know that plenty of you commission this kind of work. I'd jump at the mod myself, but I'm completely covered up with orders right now (certainly not complaining about that). The OP is a customer of mine and is Solid as Sears (well, he's solid as Sears USED to be).
I steered him toward Phil Dobson, but surely there are other options out there. I think it would be both a visual and performance enhancing mod for this workhorse of a friction folder.
