    Installed the beauties. They are awesome! So comfortable for riding standing up. Well done Zip-Ty Racing.

    Built myself a tool tube for the left side "hole" where the original exhaust was. About time I made use of that space.

    Gotta watch that - you can get a nasty injury from the screen :cry
    I saw one guy replace the screen mounting bolts with that 3M strong "velcro" type stuff - stayed on at speed, but would pop off if hit.

    This stuff:

    Thanks, I am now thinking about it, if my neck would've hit the screen instead of me, could've been much worst :eek:

    Went on a nice 200 loop from my house in Aberdeen Idaho. Followed part of the route Mobius took. First ride on the 990 with knobbies, what a transformation the bike rips off road now. I crossed streams and rocky climbs today that I never thought would be possible on this bike. This shot was taken at the top of Pebble Creek Ski Area, I-15 and Inkom are in the background. Great day
