Blown head gasket(updated with pics)

Hey Tony if you want to sell that oil cooler set back to me send me a u2u. Or if your using it how about the fittings? (If the won't fit on your bike)

I plan on using it. It just a matter of getting around to putting it on.

You know you've been waiting to long for parts when you have your ups tracking number memorized.

Here's an update on my parts I ordered a while ago. What your looking at is the tracking history from ups. I just hope nobody was hurt in the delivery of my bike parts.

Anyhoo, I should see them today.

New Ape studs. They were a pleasure to install.
