I looked on Amazon for new ground straps and couldnt find anything. I searched for "wheel ground strap", "tire ground strap", etc. I didnt find any info about them, but I did learn that corn starch works better than baby powder for fitting into a gimp suit.
I rode the bike last night and almost dropped in front of my garage. The riding position takes a bit to get used to.
Sounds like a Navy problem to me.
If your ground straps arn't shorting out then maybe the oil isn't the right viscosity. Should flow like honey but smell like bbq sauce......then it won't lube up your rear rubber when it discharges from your breather mod. I hear LF Industrys do an exhaust that will burn the oil off and give you an extra 5 HP.
