mines in the garage not on the boat, no thoughts of putting it on.
I've got Corsa Q&Q for around the docks

Oh, I thought it was on the boat. So why would you be cursing at it?

I'm in the process of Nascarizing my garage and it takes up too much freakin' room.............

You could cut it up and make a yard planter out of it. Kinda the Formula guy version a redneck painting old tires for the wifey to plant flowers in. Or put legs on it and turn it into a bar. :D

Revs really benefit from this program
installing additional vents, removing underhood foam, swiss-cheesing what's left of the belt guard, ceramic coating the entire exhaust (I gotta a ceramic coating "guy")
some appearance mods including '05 440 "X" decals
upgrading to the brass/oilite A-arm bushings and while I'm at it gonna send the arms/spindles down to Ian at Monster Perf. for powdercoat either matching yellow or (most likely) wet aluminum
Idooski riser set
some additional 440 chassis reinforcements
Redline in the chaincase (simultaneous to the gearing change :D)
Castrol synthetic in the brake
floated the secondary
t-stat deleted (proven 20* lower coolant temps all the time)
RAVE exhaust valves pulled and cleaned
ect.
ect.
ect.
and a serious detailing
I'll wait till fall to send my shocks down to Ian for oil changes, nitrogen, and some very slight valving changes...don't want to chance them leaking down, or nitrogen contaminating the oil over the next 6 months.
I ran this thing hard and it was a suprisingly strong runner and predictable/comfortable to ride insanely.
Just trying to give a little something back...
If you don't ride you wouldn't understand...:evilb:

Hey Randy,

Sorry I haven'y responded sooner been busy at work .... don't forget I have some luggage and the tunnel bag for you and some extra windshields ..... you mentioned clutch cover mod ..... I drilled out the rivets that hold that black cover and removed the whole dam thing and just left the top shield.... big difference.
The riser I used was called a Isovibe riser .... reduced any vibration through the handle bars ..... worked awesome.

Talk to you soon .....

You got me on that ......with regards to the " in before July 4th" .....

If it wasn't for the little swimplatform issue I just had fixed ... I too would have been in the water. The good news is it is all done and looks great.
I am hopefully getting my boat this friday evening from "my canvas guy". Just stepped up and purchased a full bimini/convertible top for the ole 311.

And I am good to go .......

What's up for Memorial day weekend? I am off starting friday going back to work tuesday. Lets all get a plan together and do some boating.
Talked to Thirdbird and he is up for something .....

Any ideas ????

Let me know whoose interested and we will figure it out.

Talk to you later .....

I lost the black plastic enclosure before I ever rode it.
Taking it one step further, check the relief holes in the remaining guard and the shock tower vents.
I did strike up an interesting conversation with a hottie while shopping for black nylons ...
