Nelson...if you're around, check yer email!! :lol:

 

[Brian D]

Shit... I forgot... he's probably gone to Sturgis.

 

[Mickeetwo]

You could be right. I haven't seen him on in a couple of days. Stay with him, he always gets back to you.

 

[Brian D]

Ehhh.... I guess I'm in no hurry now anyway. I've got my bike at Rodney's getting some crash damage repaired.

Got run over by a cager in Conway...

WOW ....hate to hear that. Hope your OK, you just got the bike a few month ago. That sucks hope there wasn't to much damage.:down:

 

[Brian D]

It did about $6K worth of damage and I got a fractured sacrum out of the deal. The right front turn signal was smashed, triple trees bent, right fork slider damaged, both brake levers damaged, both L&R footpegs damaged, heat shields on the exhaust scratched to hell, air cleaner smashed in, right mirror damaged, and various other little scratches and dings. :down: :angry:

 

[Gas Man]

Damn that blows... you're making a ins claim right?

Hate to hear that Brian. The folks at Rodneys are pretty good. They should be able to fix you up. Keep us posted on the outcome and get well soon.

Not sure what a sacrum is, but sounds like it would hurt.

Oh yeah!! Already got the check and the bike is in the shop getting the damage fixed on the cager's insurance company's dime. Just waiting on the medical settlement stuff to get finished now. Had to have tons of x-rays and a coupla MRI's on the pelvis.

Yeah, they're a little shorthanded this week since Rodney and at least one other guy went to Sturgis with their company demo stuff, but they are getting to it.

The sacrum is that shovel-shaped bone with holes in it at the base of your spine, just above the tailbone. It's a painful SOB when it's broken. You can't exactly put a cast on your pelvis, so you just have to eat painkillers and try to stay off your feet as much as possible til it heals.

That sucks! Hope you get better soon.

I have a d&m air cleaner for about a year and I love it, it's called the boss, but may be more then you want to spend. I have been in rain, hail just about everything and no problems,

Yeah man... I'm good. Just itching to get my bike back and get some wind in my face. :2thumbs:

The D&M is a piece of crap. Looks cool, works like shit. I have one. I cut it off at the elbow and slid on a K&N filter. The reason I know is it killed my dyno #'s. Even my big K&N takes away 5 HP but I have to run something.

What did you use to cut it? Thinking about using the mount and breather and go to a simmer or s&s

 

[francoblay1]

Just curiosity.... does anyone know if "The Boss" (D&M dual spike) can be mounted also in the vertical position? I have been trying to find some pics but I cannot find any.

 

[francoblay1]

Found these...

 

[Brew]

Now that looks dangerous...

 

[francoblay1]

Yup.. they are dangerous... these "Spear" ones would not pass the Inspection in Europe (Spain).... I am looking for the same set up but with the "Bullet" cones.. like the one on my bike right now.... the "Bullet" can pass the Inspection... just!
