White header wrap.

My exhaust was getting rusty.
Any problems with painting (VHT flame proof) then wrapping?
Are you supposed to paint before wrapping.

I painted it black, pipe and muffler. I want to wrap it in white- to match my seat.

Love the valve cover. Hate the wrap.
The black will look much better.

Took the minibike out today.

I forgot how much I love it. It has been a while since I took it for a spin - or even started it. After pull starting the 420 and using the electric start on the the other 212, this feels like it has no compression at all. I was scared at first. Scared it was broken, but it started up and rode great.

First time I gave it some speed since adding the double steering damper. Only like 5 months to test em out. LOL

Like a dream. From stop to 55 mph with no shake, no wobble. I ran out of real estate so I had to let off the gas. This thing is fast. Too fast for my neighborhood. When cruising around obeying speed limits and such, RPMs seems to be around 5300 RPM. I have this set for 4k RPM TC engagement.

I was going to take it up to my work to try some 1/8 mile passes but spotted a man in blue so I turned around.

I hate the decal.
Doesn’t look right and isn’t as funny as it was when I purchased it.

It might look good appropriately (inappropriately) placed on one of your Lady coworkers of the female persustion.

We always play games at work.
We slap stickers on people's backs. If somebody doesn't log off their computer, we make up a bunch of fake tabs. The most popular game at work is trying to put celery, carrots, fruit, hotdogs,... in people's pockets, hoods, aprins, shoes, purses,... without them knowing.

The look on their faces when they find a hotdog in their pocket. Priceless. Then they yell and throw it me.

My coworkers may not know about the games in which they participate.
