Look at you Mr. Smarty pants.....pulling shrouds, puttin on loud pipes. I thought you said loud pipes wouldn't fly in your neighborhood? Well I doubt it's as loud as your Harley!
Looks good Tony, keep it coming till we ride again.....
Hawaii, yep I told John and Sterling that you had referred me to them; they only increased the price by 15% when I used your name! Ha!
Scotto- I figured the growling 4 stroker couldn't be nearly as loud as the Hooker Header pipes on the Road King; so I went for it! The neighbors need a little excitement in their lives, too! Attached some pics of the Harley before and after the run to Nova Scotia three summers ago.

Is that hog full dress or what? Beautiful man! Now pipe down....the neighbors are gettin a little ticked at the noise 
Ahhh....MUCH nicer look Tony. I take back half of all I've said about the 4 strokes...lol.
Actually, my only complaint about the 4 strokes was the lawnmower engine shroud. And after riding Scotto-'s 4 stroke I am very impressed with them. Took me a while to get used to not having to pedal to get going and Scotto-'s brake lever wasn't the clutch...kind of suprising to think you're pulling in the clutch for coasting and before braking but didn't take long to retrain myself.
I just wanted to thank Maxvision for turning me loose in his shop so I could fix my CVT that broke on the ride, that is really cool of you man! I took the beast for a ride today.......good as gold! Here's how it turned out.......
That was very generous of you Bro, you're a great friend to have....thanks again!

And speaking of thanks........culvercityclassic ROCKS! The plate arrived today and I'll put it to the test........we'll see which one is stronger: billet or cast? What else can I say.....you're the best and don't forget it!
Much appreciation,
scotto-
Hey Scotto- did you build the plate in the above pics or is that the part from culvercityclassics? Nice work! Kinda makes my mouth water - 212cc on a BICYCLE!!!
Maxvision, you're the MAN!
Maxvision, you're the MAN!
Culvercityclassic sent me a cast plate made of aluminum as pictured below:
This one I made up at Maxvisions shop, shown next to the broken red billet plate:
My welds look like turds in a punchbowl
Scotto-
The red one looks like cast and the one you made looks like billet?
Your welds look great to me!

Thanks Tony......the red one is machined billet aluminum anodized red. The one I made is steel and it weighs a ton.
I think your welds look fine as well. What they look like is not that important. How well they work is what matters.
Thanks Dan.......they work well, got good penetration but that doesn't change the fact that they look like turds in a punchbowl
So guy, good news. I've got a herd of kids up here near Rancho Bernardo getting their bikes up and running as we speak. Might get a good L.A. type turnout of 20 or more riders on one of our next rides.
They also have a sweet route through backroads from Rancho Bernardo to Encinitas with lots of twists and turns on them!!!
Hawaii...I'll keep you posted when they're all up and running and ready to rock and roll.
