i, too had trouble with mo ma. they kept my gages for a while without
giving me any updates. after a few phone calls they finally said they
weren't interested in repairing them and sent them back.
i ended up using a place in california, but after they fixed the speedo i
realized the odometer is about 50% shy of reality. i guess i should pull it
and send it back.
