Default DK, please don't get mad at me...

Well, just got done installing my Rush Short Series and DK Customs 425 intake kit so naturally I was eager to test it out. So eager that I forgot to tighten the acorn nut and the plate fell off on the highway! Luckily I caught the filter between my knee and the bike so I put it between my teeth and rode to Lowe's and heres what I came up with until I can order another plate.

Looks good. DK won't get mad but would gladly take more money for another cover. Keep that cover, use it for future modding.

Loctite on isle 12. Good thing that the stud did not come loose and get sucked into your motor.

I run a DK A/C as well but I opted to remove the center stud and use an allen bolt from the outside. I do like the Dewalt wheel. Defiantly a conversation piece.

Hmm, it appears my carb just began leaking out of the drain/overflow at the bottom of the float bowl. I made sure the drain screw was tight - and it is - but it's still dripping fuel every couple of minutes. Any ideas?
