Hello Carl,

One question. Have you been to an LHS and seen one up close?

Considering that these are RTR and not Genesis units they look great! They are a "Cut Above" the Blue Box line. I especially like those "See Thru" grills. The paint job looks crisp and accurate. My LHS has several in stock.

Exactly what is it about the handrails that turns you off? Thickness? Material used?

10-4.

On mine the end handrails were glued in the "not fully seated" position and not all the flash had been removed. Kind of disappointing that I had to remove them, re-trim the pieces, over-drill the holes and re-install. That flaw, the headlight bulbs herniating out of the fixtures, and the thick paint add up to moderate let-downs. The plus side is the nice weight of the unit.
