Today I finally had the chance to sit down and assemble my new band for my Large. I used all 24 studs and 24 acorn nuts. Sure enough I had one of each left over! Of course I went back to check if I missed something - but I did not!

While I like having an extra instead of being short one...I got to reading the fine print in the instruction "booklet" and
"HOLY MACKEREL...FRED"...have you seen the threats and fines and FBI warnings? Looks like corporate has hired Coca-Cola's legal beagles!  =)

    Sorry - but I didn't have enough time today to get that far. AND I won't be able to do the rest (HOPEFULLY) until tomorrow afternoon at best!

    I may be an old retired dude, but I STILL have duties, responsibilities, appointments and other stuff too numerous to mention! Just don't EVER think that retirement means sunshine, lollipops and flowers every day!  :)=);)

    Mom always tells me she would get more rest if she went back to work. I believe her. You aren’t kidding. She is hard at it for 78.

    When’s the date, Ron?

    Hope you’re doing something fun to celebrate.

    @RRP - A note of caution for you, be gentle with the acorn nuts.  I had two of the rounded portions come off during installation.

    @dbCooper my local dealer had a bunch in a drawer and gave me replacements and a handful for any future uses! Gotta love the service!
