some good came of it. i didnt go to the hospital with them, instead i went to the shop and worked on my bike. i had a few hours to actually get something done.

this will replace the rack of 4 28mm CV carbs, converting to a single 42mm pumper carb. im not doing it for performance, but i am sick of constantly adjusting the 4 carbs to keep them all on the same level. and now one of them is dumping fuel, so i decided to try something new. it may fail horribly and i will have to fix the rack of 4 and put them back on for the riding season.

Aren't you the boss? Can't you leave for the day while the worker bees continue droning away? In fact make them work late tonight to make up for your leaving early.

They do make a great product. I had a custom made exhaust on my old Ranger and the tail section was from a kit that was 2 years old, it was going on 6 when I sold the ranger and only had surface rust. And it was the aluminized kit. You had a much better experience then me with their customer service... I was going back and forth for two weeks and only got 3 emails. The first one took a week, the second took a day and the third took a couple of more and I have yet to answer that one. I was going to order the split dual in stainless, for a discounted rate at the risk of it not fitting so they could test-fit it without me driving to Cali. Never heard back on the price, so I ordered the Corsa.

Really? Thats strange, this guy has emailed me back 3 times since 11am today lol. Really helpful with pictures and telling me even what size spare tire the truck had on that they measured clearance with. Where did you order your exhaust from, Matt? Im probably going with auto parts warehouse because its 594$ then there is a 30$ off discount also

Andy ill be there ASAP

You kill a policeman it means no arrest...no Miranda rights...no negotiations...nothing but as many bullets as we can shoot into you...PERIOD.

An illegal alien, in Polk County, Florida, who got pulled over in a routine traffic stop, ended up "executing" the deputy who stopped him. The deputy was shot eight times, including once behind his right ear at close range. Another deputy was wounded and a police dog killed. A state-wide manhunt ensued.

The murderer was found hiding in a wooded area. As soon as he took a shot at the SWAT team, officers opened fire on him. They hit the guy 68 times.

Naturally, the liberal media went nuts and asked why they had to shoot the poor, undocumented immigrant 68 times.

Sheriff Grady Judd told the Orlando Sentinel: "Because that's all the ammunition we had." Now, is that just about the all-time greatest answer or what!

The Coroner also reported that the illegal alien died of natural causes. When asked by a reporter how that could be, since there were 68 bullet wounds in his body, he simply replied: (BEST QUOTE of 2009) . . . "When you are shot 68 times you are naturally gonna die."

I went through Summit. I found the Corsa through another place from FL and called to check stock on it since Corsa is backordered everywhere. I then called Summit to get the price matched and they did it no problem. They usually only do it on in-stock products but my kit was made-to-order. Very good service, and it's a reputable place should you need a warranty deal.
