  1. Yea, I hit those sites. My header is 2 or 2 1/4" All those stop at 1 3/4 or so. So thats what got me thinking of reducers in the first place. Then I thought, why not put a bigger reducer at the back of the pipe and attach a baffle to it, sliding the whole assembly inside the pipe like the real one? Then I tried to find a 3 3/4 reducer on a Labor Day weekend. Tomorrow is another day.
  2. Thanks, I do appreciate the thought but we are a few miles apart, sigh... I'll bet as you said it would take very little time to do if you had the stuff to do it with. Unfortunately I have to work in a parking lot with a gazzilion kids that love to pick up shiny things when I'm not looking. Like my wrenches, pliers and other things they have grabbed when I wasn't looking. It's a cruel world. I have faith that better times are near.
  3. I trust him! I'll send him a check for $34,000,000 if he will just please cash it and send the difference back to me. Good deal eh?
  4. Sadly I'm missing about half of the tools needed to pull this off. I have a drill and an idea, but thats about it. You make it sound pretty easy and I'm sure it is if you have the tools and skills, which I don't. I'd like to quiet it down a bit so my neighbors don't have a pitchfork and torch rally on my behalf. Maybe a muffler shop in C-bus?
  5. 30 year old Kerker headers need baffles. End cap is on the side of some road, somewhere. So I thought about getting a reducer 3 3/4" to 2" and a couple of odd hardware parts and making my own. But it's turning out to be trickier than I thought finding the odd hardware bits. Somebody out there must have tried this kinda thing before. Any tips you could offer?
  6. Interesting point of view. It might be worth pointing out the the "Declaration Of Independence" starts out with the phrase "We The People" as in we are the government. The politicians are our proxies. That is to say that they are supposed to do what we "The People" want them to do. Not what they think is best for us. The power of the citizen is supreme even though the power structure does not want to acknowledge this. Trying to use the powers of the citizen usually will give you a lot of grief even though you are correct you will pay a price in todays power structure. An example might be trying to hand out paperwork that explains the concept of jury nullification outside a courthouse. Oh yea, that's an arrestin', might even get tazed! Even if you are on solid constitutional ground your going to get your ass whipped anyway, go to jail, pay fines etc. The idea I'm trying to get to is that our present system is not what the founding fathers envisioned. The government is not your friend and protector, rather it is it's own protector. A subtle yet important concept.
  7. Totaled scooter = $3000.00 Road rash = $250.00 Getting filmed by Police cruiser = Priceless
  8. He should get one like Prince in his movie Goofs for Purple Rain (1984) Continuity: Prince's motorcycle tire changes from a street tire to an off-road tire when he is near the river. Robo-tire!
  9. Your lens makes the turn look easier than it really was. After you turned around it looks much sharper.
  10. Politics is a religion. People believe in what they believe in. Sounds like at least two groups claiming the same name to me. Anybody else see more than one group? About that "Plausible deny-ability" thing.... No political dirty tricks here, move along citizen, move along.
  11. Even if we didn't finish it, it seemed scenic to me as far as we went. Sure, I was bringing up the rear but even on my old bike I wasn't having trouble keeping up. Or perhaps the run to Salt Fork Park? The Great Ride! http://www.ohio-riders.com/album.php?albumid=653
