yea....i thought maybe some would like some of those. eventually we may add some more emoticons.....
Yep, i'm pretty conservative......card carrying Republican. Oh wait, you were talking about my engineering practices. I'm pretty conservative there too
I'm just always leery. I've seen on some other boards....where guys did some seemingly pretty 'inocent' mods...and later, it came back to bite them.
Case in point. I just saw a post on the VRCC board yesterday....where some guy was asking about doing the 'flame thrower' mod to his Valk. For those who don't know, that was a pretty popular mod some years back on the Valks and on the VRCC board. you added this device that basically made one cylinder on each side NOT fire (when you flipped the switch on)...and unburned gas left the cylinder ....went into the exhaust....and then the device fed spark to another
that you mounted in the tail end of your exhaust on each side. You had to drill a hole in the top of your exhaust tip to mount the plug. bottom line, when you flipped the switch, unburned gas was ignited by the plug in the tip of the exhaust.....and flames would shoot out the back of your exhaust. This was especially impressive at night :!:
Now it turns out that those who did that mod, most had problems later on ....major problems with their engines on the cylinder the raw gas was going thru. turns out it wasn't too good for the engine :!: Most who did it, now say they wouldn't advise it. I certainly wouldn't have been concerned about doing it several years ago. Now i wouldn't think of it.
that's the kind of stuff that makes me wait ....and see.....before i 'leap'. i'd rather be conservative....then be
.
I'll get one eventually...one of these days....MUCH later....if no one has problems for half a year or so :wink:
