    Just did a 50 mile first ride. She’s an absolute animal! I’m so relieved the problem was solved. Sucks this is the last day I can ride. At least I know what I have for next season. I’m stoked

    A little chilly this morning, yes ?

    Good luck with the new engine.

    I highly recommend the aluminum trans pulley from Baker. It makes a substantial difference in acceleration over stock. Really glad I did it. Now what to do for the winter... ��

    Probably going to remake my jardine chin spoiler brackets out of 6061 billet. The steel ones are starting to get surface rust where the powder coat is peeling. And the steel ones are heavy as hell. And I need something to do. I’ll make that my first project.

    You have powder coat that is peeling??

    My $0.02 is that normally I prefer the chin spoiler on the bike, but I think with the Jardine pipe, the bike looks better without.

    Yes it’s peeling. However it’s from no fault of the jardine company. It’s peeling from the mounting hardware being on and off. So basically I’ve peeled the powder coat off myself from assembly and disassembly.

    My front bumper ( tree killer type ) on my pick up was powder coated, started rusting after going through the first winter. I just took it off the truck yesterday, it's now rusted up pretty good so it's time for a face lift. If I can get some of the coatings I used to sell years ago, it will never rust again, never !
