I purchased a bikini top from Bestop along with the windshield attachment a while back.
The windshield frame attachment was secured in the OEM bolt holes along the top of the frame. I also cut a strip of thin rubber inner tube as a gasket...
New shoes to help with the vibration issues. Didn’t quite eliminate it but pushed it up to a higher speed and they are WAY quieter on the freeway. Defender LTX M/S, based on lots of reviews on Mud.

Kaleidoscopes
One of my favorite sayings is that we are all broken, beautifully broken, like the bits of broken glass in a kaleidoscope. All of the experiences we have had that 'broke' us, and the time we spent, and the way in which we put...
An RB-1! The jewel in Bridgestone’s crown. Never ridden one but have come close to buying one a few times. The head of Bridgestone at the time was Grant Peterson who went on to start Rivendell after he was [possibly] fired. The XO-1 was his...
Yeah, I have a 2005 Carbon fiber Specialized Roubiax comp road bike with elastometers integrated on the forks and side bars. I can definitely feel the flex and sponginess while I ride. completely different than the GT's.

I had another GT Zaskar in...
Hard to follow up that sunset shot! :D I went for a gray ride around the city. It was actually the perfect temp and the legs felt great. Great ride all around. Found this cool plaque for the madman who came up with the floating bridge crossing...
Hello ih8mud forum,

I have learned a lot from everyone and appreciate all of the input along the way! There is still some more work to be done but the hardest part is over.
I'd love to find some carb legal downey headers and swap them in someday, but it isn't too...
