I took the new brute for a test drive, very nice. Only thing I don't like is the ground clearance... 9.8" stock.. Other then that it was a very tight machine. Better rider er hard, the big v-twin ain't made for goin slow! haha.

I plan to, it spools up quicker than the XP did, stock for stock.

I'm not too worried about GC because a lift can fix that. I can't wait to take it on a mud trip. :d

I finally finished waterproofing my audiotube today. Its basically been finished for some time now but today I put the silicone around the elbows which was all I needed to do to complete the project.

I made it as "quick-tatch" as possible while still keeping the wiring as clean as possibe.

Started my 1984 big red, run perfect and looks like new. Made up a special measuring stick so i can just place it over the wheels for precise tire size....what a difference in handling when you get all four wheels the exact same size.

Took my RZR fishing. Crossed part of the Christina river to fish off a island down from the Saprea Creek staging area. Lots of mud to play in on the way too:d

Would that be a tire pressure gauge? I don't think your breaking any ground here. They have been around for a little bit now.:d:rolleyes:
