With only the two rear speakers I want to put some up front but cant come up with a good spot. I am sure others have tackled this problem. Anyone have any pictures of what they did? Thanks
I got my oil analysis back today and it showed high silicon. I am looking for an alternative to the stock flame arrestor. Does anyone have any good options that fit the stock carb? I have see a few just bolt on old style filter/cover assemblies but what do you do about the crank case lines that...
