There is a ton of space in the cat area after the Arrow install. I'm even thinking of relocating the rear bracket to raise the plate up. Or swap in a 12/13 bracket.

"If loud pipes save lives, imagine what learning to ride that thing could do" JP Cycles (bumper sticker on my trailer). I can mimic all the comments as I agree whole heartedly, but the only thought I will share is that I have attended many courses over the years, and they all came into play one...

I'm running an Arrow header with stock can. Anthony's flash cleans things up nicely and the bike rips in S Mode. Had a Yoshi, but chose the quieter route with stock can. Adding the header, vice cutting, will allow you to remove and transfer, or sell, later. Tinnitus sucks, hence my path. YMMV

IIRC, moly has a higher pressure rating and is preferred for splined interfaces. I use it on the three shafted machines in the barn.

Don hit the nail on the head. Pinch the bead and you will diminish contact patch. My C10 CAN run a 180 between the narrow swingarm, but a 170 is ideal. The 180 will be pinched slightly and create a slightly 'peaked' tread. I would think the same thing will occur if you pinch in a 170 on the...

Norwest Suspension did mine. From what I understand, he is not doing these any longer, but I don't know that for a fact.

Many Glacier Road is a big +1. We did that on our way thru Glacier to Alaska. The Sun road was closed due to snow(early June), so I had to circumnavigate the Park to get to St Mary. Camped in St Mary Campground before rolling up and back to Swiftcurrent and then Chief Mountain Highway. Keep in...

All good comments. All she needs is knobbies, skidplate, Anthony's flash, long legs, and a confident skill set. The S10 will take you far. Just know how to pick it up, load it as light as possible, practice your sand game, and ride far. I've had mine on three BDR's, Alaska, and many parts in...

As an added note, IMO the clutch reservoir 'should' be flushed annually. This is not standard, but I also had the 'dirty' reservoir and sketchy clutch lever function until I thoroughly flushed system. Symptoms have not returned since accelerating flushing schedule. Rebuild kit still on shelf two...

It WILL take a good beating. A way to upgrade your plate is to line it with sound absorbing material to reduce the reflection of engine noise. I bought a box of Fleabay and put a layer throughout the inside. Was not too confident in it lasting, but it has been in there for ~2 years with no...

No Barkbusters? Spare clutch lever. Lotsa good ones already, so here are a few extras: Tire pump, worm plugs and insertion tools, glue, 2 tire patches, tire irons. Luck... zip-ties, duct tape, length of bailing wire or stainless lockwire. Oh, and JB weld for serious oh-shit stuff.

There are small countersunk allen screws on the bottom of the plate. BUT, it is easier to back out the two 'centerstand' bolts and drop the rear bracket down. I tweaked the verticals in a touch to allow easier upward insertion. You can remove the screws, but my plate is beat to hell and no...

You could send your weeping stock one to Norwest Suspension and he'll 'freshen' it up for ya for a reasonable price.

$325 shipped. Send me a pm for a couple more pics.

I have a Yoshi available.

I have a MRA X-Creen Touring Blade available. Smoke, light use. After further review, I do not have the complete assembly. Mounts used on another machine.

My S10 is in Seattle and I'm getting ready to ride it back to Florida via the IDBDR and the NVBDR, solo. I parked it after fresh oil and tires upon returning from Alaska. I'll clean the windshield, load my clothes, and roll out. My point is that I am confident in the machine, and its reliability...

Tests ARE very subjective. Hell, they could have borrowed my flashed 14 and I'm sure the opinions would have been different. I picked mine up for 10K, dropped 3K on farkles and upgrades, and have only had to deal with a 'fiddly' clutch switch, a weeping FD seal, and a loose triple tree on the...

Your tire and rim appear to indicate more leakage. Notice the 'drip trails' in the pic? I would verify the condition under the FD also.

This particular tire is becoming a challenge to locate.
