Wink Cylinders fell off....
Told the wife I was damn lucky to be alive....and better that I found the Fuel Moto guys that are willing to help me out and fix the problem. In a week or so I should have the 107ci ones that stay on...and those 777 bump sticks too.

Stock cylinders are pretty dangerous. They should be outlawed!

Glad you're installing that FM107 safety device on your bike.

I know it looks like the rear wheel is spinning, tripped me out...had to stare at it for awhile too.


Glad fuel moto stepped up and helped you out.

Timberland is the guy that installed the '09 rear fender on his '08 (I believe) so he could run a 180 rear tire then posted about a great deal on wheel blanks but you had to have your hub made or purchased separately. Very good reading with how-to pics!

It's a shame about the cylinders......
