    Joe, I doubt the needle thing will work. It takes a LOT of pressure to purge those suckers... It'll likely be better to get a smaller tip or flatten the sides down with a grinder and give it that "custom" look...

    Good luck getting your tip in..!! We are all rootin' for ya..! :thumbsup:;););)

    Only way to tell is by greasing them.
    It's too late by the time they start making noise.

    Can't tell on time.. not in the mood to figure it out so I will be dropping it off.

    I'm find a little bit of rust on the rear joint.
