    Entitled f@ckers have ruined Waupaca County for motorcycles. They drop their wheels off the pavement in every damned corner, throwing gravel all over the road. I dare say it's borderline dangerous for cars. Waupaca County has some damned nice motorcycle routes.

    So... Arkansas was really hard on my mirrors. WTF? How? I am really sensitive about these as I spent way too much and too much time making them happen on a 2nd Gen. Not sure how much shows, but wow!

    They are thrashed. But, then again so is the truck. At least it runs good. The rock thing that took out Deans front cover made a mess of my license plate holder. Thats 3/16 steel plate...

    Next year is the year for my front bumper I think. School is getting a tubing bender so I think some 2" DOM is in order up front. Just need to do the design work and find some welders...

    Tube bender you say? Interesting!
    Maybe your students could align with the DECA kids and market a line of sliders! Starting off with trail limo bolt ones of course.
    Just saying.

    Problem is... I don't have a CNC plasma cutter. The plates for the frame are a problem and expensive to have made. That and the DOM tubing are what made mine so expensive... Although a LOT less than whats available out there in DOM.

    Would those fit a best gen, stock and unlifted trail limo?
    (Just in case they can’t find a better home)

    Nice. I’m planning that sooner than later. If nothing else, I’m glad to hear they fit!

    Knob as in the knobhead that wired it? :rofl:
    Built in 1965. Judging by wiring going over rafters and so many wires pulling off the same box for a lead. There's no way any electrician did this.
    I've already cleaned it up some several several years back and eliminated 3 wires from that drawing.

    I'm getting new lights. The 3 diode lights I have now aren't bright enough. These have 9 diodes. Which one is positive? I suck at auto wiring, but this seems pretty easy, as long as the wires are hooked up correctly.

    Touch the leads to your battery. If you have the polarity wrong, I doubt you'll hurt them.
