Thanks scald. As with most things, it looks, but especially sounds a whole lot better in person. The video just can't capture the deep rumble of the exhaust as well as when you're standing there and feeling and hearing it.

Thanks Joe!

Just want to say that your sportster from last year was one of my original motivations to make this journey. I appreciated your advice early on regarding the fat front end. And your thread on how to chop the cam cover was my blueprint for doing the same thing. So you were a big help to me along the way. As were a number of other guys here.

It would be my honor and pleasure to ride with you one of these days.

Haha...ya, Arizona. I do like Arizona but it might be a bit far to ride this thing. But thanks Jeep! I appreciate the offer.
