Wayne,

Nope, our group went 5 for 10. They are going back this weekend to see if they can even the score. I didn't see anything although there was a lot of evidence if large buck activity. I am not devoted enough to give a second cold, long weekend as I have to prepare for my surgery coming up.

Leon,

The images should just automatically show in the thread? I am surprised you have issues seeing them. They are photo bucket.

An issue with forum pics posted via Photobucket arises when the Photobucket account disappears for whatever reason, such as being closed or cancelled.

Have seen too many of the following messages when reading former threads.




Good Fortune! :)

So I have been thinking some more..... I picked up some SS 303 Grade 1.5" bar stock to machine my outer wheel spacers from, and have been looking at lots of pics I have taken of the bike. I am thinking about cutting down the factory tail. Basically, mount my tail light right to the end of the frame, and then shortening the plastic tail to fit the reduction in length. I am going to cut the seat down and do a full, custom low profile seat. Thoughts on this? Anyone done this before?

The longer tail looks better in my opinion...
I guess it depends on what you do with the seat.

Don't knock my turbo lag - it gives your naturally aspirated a chance..

I agree. My photo shop skill are not there yet to tackle the seat, but the seat would be shortened, lower, and slimmer.
