Someone's looking for some quick info. I did what I could, but I'm not an owner.

You guys were doing ok on the bar-the spacer can be purchased from Lowes in the electrical department and I believe is called a extension tube for ceiling fans. Cut it to size with a tubing cutter and while in Lowes pick up some longer metric bolts to go with the metric acorn nuts you already have.

I believe Moon invented this and has passed it on

That's some seriously flawed logic, my friend.

Gave it a twisted giggle but not funny, I had a CBR900rr and it did kick my arrs, killed me 3 times but this cats got 9 lives.
Made it back from glamis, got there and back in 1 piece. Jumped the truck 6 foot 3 times, put about 20 hours on my quad and only busted my arrs 1 time, awsome adventure.

Maybe I'm wrong and it could be another verse, and you could've done it intentionally.............but isn't it "I have a limo, ride in the back. I lock the doors in case I'm attacked"?

Always been a Joe Walsh fan from the early James Gang days!

Doesn't Twinx confess to imbibing from time to time or, maybe, even more frequent than that? Hmm. He and Walsh have never been seen in the same room together......

Looking for advice…errr…not that kind of advice

I’m upgrading my current OEM radiator to a BHR (Charles) radiator next week. Anyways, I’m seeking advice on what to do with the OEM thermostat. I'm currently running the OEM thermostat with 30k on it and with a 30/70 mixture which includes two bottles of waterweter. Should I keep the current OEM or should I change it to a lower temp thermostat? Keep in mind that I’m located in Central Florida and I have no plans to drive my car in a cold environment (below 40F).

I could not find it but there was a whole thread on this some time back. The consensus on the thread was that the OEM thermostat was the recommended way to go. I don't remember all the reasons. With all the trouble I had in the past I was ready to do something but was advised not to. I think that MM was part of that discussion.

Munche, the 8 looks good.
