WELP...i was wrong, agin
after installin those super cool wheels from Bart(or gettin someone else to do it [:'(][:@]) i kept smellin burnt rubber...yesterday i SAW smoke in the rearview....wondered how come my bike was sluggish feeling 
....so today i pulled the rear wheel to find...yep, you guessed it... BURNT WIRING HARNESS AND BURNT FENDER PAINT ....cause my fine DB system didnt hold it off the fender....i measured the rear against the stock cause i put a 150 on and guess what else, its bigger, not much but evidently just enough to rub....when i first installed the system it would not rub, now it does...and it ruint some stuff....Bart is sending me a Platinum Air....its shocks are made for our applications, not corvettes...i argued and argued with some on here...must say I WAS WRONG...yall can yuck it up but eggs on my face on the DB system....some said it, if it looks too good to be true, prolly is...at 48 you'd think i would know by now [&o] ... pics later
and i got stung by a wasp today on the inner upper arm and that STILL hurts
