I talked to Phil @ Driveline Service of Pittsburgh (on the phone) when i was looking for a custom front shaft, and he seemed both knowledgeable and helpful... though he couldn't source some of the parts it needed so in the end i went with someone else (not local).

(412) 784-1991
5212 Butler St

The other local places i talked to got all when they heard "metric."

Brakes are bled and finished!
Need to get good hardware on the anti wrap bar and install the shocks and everything under the cruiser will be done.
Need to fab a shroud for the electric fan and get the headlights working.
Will get pics soon.

DO YOU ACTUALLY OWN A CRUISER?
If you did you would know that they are never finished
