you missed out on a lot of fun then.

when we were coming out of the sandbox we had to get every vehicle inspected. I told one guy that I knew he had been racing through the desert because his shocks needed calibrated. I sent him to motor pool and they sent him to another company, they sent him to another, finally after being sent to 4 different companies he came back, wasn't very happy but it was funny as hell that so many other people went along with it.

Seriously, call Brandon at MU, tell him Tim sent you. They usually carry the ceramic bearings and sound cards in stock.

Maybe, besides that was a release of tension after the stresses of battle. This is just a way for bored desk jockeys to take advantage of someone who doesn't know any better. Almost everyone changes their exhaust to make it louder. I thought that he had a legitimate question. Especially since there are kits of this nature for some bikes. Heck, I drilled out the mufflers on my V-Max until I had the money to buy an exhaust.

I just put race baffles in mine and gutted the cats...seemed easier than changing the bearings and cheaper than buying the sound card.
