    I have the carbon fiber look one of these....it's magnetic, need a heat gun to apply/mold to your tank...and it's seam sealed....not a drop of water will seep in and removal any time to wipe/polish the tank.....they are very stable (they say upto 200mph), I can back upto 140 ish...for sure:D

    Little pricey but I love it.....

  2. Tie a puppy to a tree! :lol:

    This is the most redneck thread I've ever seen on here and I love it.

    And yes Kosmo, they are edible......as long as you don't mind eating dog. :puke::wtf:

    Well dogs are cute and that's why I don't eat them...like we don't eat horse here...but you can have them in Canada.....:beathorse:

  3. Not for you guys. Those peppers are found in north eastern India, Nagaland, Manipur state.

    I have used in cooking many times, I can eat that whole without any hysteria...no wonder I can guzzle the QSL atomic wing sauce without any trouble....somebody challenged ha ha....

    Well just to let you guys know that this is not a stereotype Indian....they eat spicy but most will pass out with one bite of Jolokia.......I have no receptor for hotness, I drink Dave's Insanity sauce in my Bloody Mary......ha ha.

    Oops.......I will not pass the test of schmuck though...so pl. don't shoot me

    :devil:

  4. I have too many favs....cutting down to a list will be unjust....

    ingredient wise.....

    1. Seafood or watercreatures.....Lobster,crab, shrimp,calamari,octopus, mussels, oyester, all kind of fish......the list goes on.

    2. Steak...from Porterhouse, nystrip, filet mignon to sirloin to sauted tips

    Favourite marinade/dress is Bourbon Street Style or Cajun/blue cheese (like the one in Applebeees...but the sirloin steak is thin there :()

  5. I am not sure if this is a sane or insane project. Here is a picture and description of what I intend to do and I will highly appreciate any input.

    My ZZR600 left side of the headlight lens is cracked and I wanted to change it cheap without buying the whole assembly for 250 bucks. I got another broken ZZR600 headlight with the left side intact and this is what I am trying to do.

    The whole front of the lens (both sides including the third eye) is one piece and glued. I got it out by heating in the oven. I got the second broken part which is cracked along the yellow line. Now what I have to do is cut my lens with a dremmel approximately along that line and replace it with the salvage part. The joining area will be under the front fairing so it will not be visible at all.

    Here are my questions:

    1. Is it sane or practical, anybody did this before :confused:

    2. What kind of glue/sealant should I use along that cut (which will be rough and not seam sealed). I am debating in between a black silicone sealant like permatex or a flexible SMC epoxy like 3M.

    Tech Gurus thanks for your comments.

    Update:

    So I have finished the project and it's pretty awesome. A new headlight assembly is around 250/280 bucks...I got the broken headlight (used in the project for 15 bucks and cost of some adhesive and that's it.

    Here it goes: First picture is the broken headlight: The arrows show the cracked lens and the dotted red line shows the underneath reflector housing which is cracked completely along the dotted line as well.

    I managed to get a broken headlight with the left lens intact for 15 bucks now I marked the old one (in the area beneath the fairing) and cut the old and the spare broken one (have to be precise, just little overlap) with a dremel...then filed manually to have a perfect complimentary fit.

    Then as the picture I joined the housing (which was in two pieces) with Plastex ....you cant even see it, the crack was exactly below where you see the cut on the lens. The left lens is cut from the broken headlight and also joined with plastex...you can see the repair.

    Next picture all joined and then put in the housing by heating in the oven and again reseamed with RTV black silicone and also added silicone on top of the plastex repair.

    Then I have tested the unit with high pressure hose...it's completely watertight.....:D

    This is how it looks in the fairing.....can ya tell.....?????
