Yeah they should be fine. The RSD pipes have the 18mm O2 bungs and have the ports out in the open specifically for this sort of application. I can't wait to get it all done. I have been working on this project for 6 months now.

Thank you....I hope it may help the next nube have the confidence to take it on. Of course it all depends on if the damn thing starts when I get it all back together.

Well nothing happening this weekend except I plan on tweeking the wheel spacers for the rear to get the rear PM caliper to be more centered on the rotor. Also waiting on the paint redo and "Hammer" Dan has informed me that the heads are there and are in line. So just waiting.


I figured I would put some of my Instagram pics up. Thanks to Fred Phucket for turning me on to Instagram. The bike seems to be taking off. Pretty cool. Anyway here are the pics.
