Twice I've had the pleasure of having Ron actually install his dead pedals. With my '03 Black, I met Ron one day late in the afternoon near his office. It was just starting to drizzle so I kept him dry holding a golf umbrella as he completed the install.
Ron made some time for my '04 Silver install during the Sunshine State Marauder picnic held in Eustis recently. Definitely agree "required equipment" for those long drives. Plus, he's an awesome guy. His pics of the EATC module o-ring fix saved me a few bucks, too.
