Thanks !


Anyone?

as for the scratches on chrome, turtle wax rubbing compound will help remove some of the scratches, if they are real deep, it will make them a bit less noticeable, but not take them out completely. use the rubbing compound in the tub, not the liquid.

I have used a product called Quick-Glo....it also removes rust...
They have different abrasive qualities for different applications.
The stuff works but it depends on how bad the scratches are of course and how hard you rub.

I did the same thing except it was the other way around. I cut off the pipe and welded the hole to make true duals.

Has anyone used the off-road light buckets for mounting speakers in? I have figured out how to mount speakers in them. I'd like to see how the buckets were mounted on either the front crash bar or the handlebars.'

Thanks.

As far as getting them mounted, it's kinda easy. The ring that holds the light will hold the speaker. You might have to build up the speakers mounting plate or add something to the magnet to get it to mount perfectly.

Like I said, already have the speaker mounting figured out. Just have to figure out the loop for the crash bar.

For you Carb guys, the best DIY project to give your bike some more poop, is the Yost Power Tube, it is something anyone can do, and its cheap horsepower, and better fuel mileage when your not on it..... Our shop has installed many sets and customers have been amazed.
