    i had one of the first batch of PowerFactor pipes ever (when the switched over from welded sections to big stamped pieces). maybe it was just first batch? don't know... another reputable forum member confirmed they are complete junk as well and who recommended the 644 to me.

    for real... :shrug: the couplers that come with the PowerFactor Pipe are junk - i blew the original one out years ago when i first took possession of the pipe. towards the end of my ride on Memorial Day (28th/Monday), the exhaust manifold to chamber Coupler finally tore at the one end (I had...

    Tem's mold for the Superfreak Hulls are "modular". He can change areas such as the rear, handlepole bracket, area etc. He uses clay in the mold to "seal the gap" when interchanging spots, then does his lay up... genius really. This is a BRAND NEW hull. This was NOT my old one cut down. My...

    Overall, the weekend ending up being successful. The maiden voyage was Saturday but only rode a half tank of fuel. Run into a few issues and wanted to address a few things... main thing being the battery location. Lucas was right... what a nightmare. I made another battery box really quick and...

    see first post... 49mm full spectrums. curse, huff and puff... a lot i guess :dunno: hopefully i will not have to pull it to often but it will come out... just a PITA. i bought a quick disconnect thing for it... so no screwing with the terminals (pun intended). the charger this battery uses...
