The one I bought is a little different, as it has about a 3/8" spacer, so shouldn't get too hot for a boot. It looks like CF, but isn't. I actually looked (lazily) for one in CF, but couldn't find it. I just hope vibration doesn't break the welds too soon.

Thanks, Carlos for posting this. I need that exhaust shield for the new extension on my drag bike. It already has a nice black spot from my boot.

Does that qualify them to be Keto friendly?

Not a huge veggie guy, but I would eat that, and like it. Reminds me a little of the steak salad at Twin Peaks. Yum. For balance, I wash it down with a fat free beer.

LOL. I understand. FYI, that black, heavy wheel chock I have actually has a label that says "Trackside", just in case you still wanted to know. I assume that is the brand. Looks like you found a good deal on a Baxley, though.

Yes. The bike will wiggle a little, but won't fall over unless hit or kicked fairly hard. I've never had, or even heard of one falling over while in a Baxley chock, but assume it's possible. The front wheel on your KTM is smaller, so it might wiggle quite a bit.

I have one similar, but not sure of the brand, since I got it used. It's heavy as hell, but works pretty good. I know you're a man who likes ultimate function, so you should be looking at what Baxley has to offer. I have one of those, too. Yes, it's my favorite. This is their cheap one (non-adjustable).

Probably pay a visit to the PD psychiatrist. 🤪

Red Busa

I'll raise you a pink Busa (not mine).

Well, I sure need to "NAD" on a regular basis to feel healthy.

This I would have to hear for myself, as I have never heard a Bird with a sidewinder, or D&D 4-1. I just had a Yosh header with no muffler. That was plenty loud. Those damn KZ megaphones will wake the dead in China. Put one on a ZX-14 motor, and it seems to get worse, but that might just be the 14:1 pistons.

Where would you put "stock header, no cans"? I'd hate to think that there is anything louder than that, or an open megaphone side-winder.

The 650 degree stuff should be adequate, if there is no other "mechanical" means of securing the bolt.

Stan's Rig. Wonder whatever happened to that old Genius? He hasn't chimed in here for quite a while.

$65 on Rockauto.com Don't know about shipping. Can't do everything for you.

Six months from now it will just be in your way. LOL

If I had a 25 year old pick-up, I think I would just remove whatever is left of the insulation pad, and not worry about. But that's me.

For good reason. Collect dryer lint. It makes great fire starter material, packs down small, and is light weight.

Fastest way to spread vegetation killer.👍

Bad reviews for what? Being ugly? You didn't say it had to be an eye catcher. Don't confuse the trucks with anything related to a Nissan with a CVT trans. And the 4.0 V6 is mostly pre-Covid, I believe. All I have ever heard of ON THE FRONTIER is some electrical gremlins related to the radio and HVAC system. Nothing worth a recall. You know Furbird is THE source for all Nissan knowledge here, right? What you think FUR? Based on what Mike said he was looking for, the Frontier seems to "fit the bill", no?

Mike, did you even consider a Nissan Frontier? The new ones look great, but if reliability is your goal, get a gently used one with the 4.0 V-6. You would be hard-pressed to find another engine (and probably transmission) with a better record of reliability. Good power, reasonable gas mileage, no turbos. They have been around so long, there is plenty of used and after-market parts available. I have a 2017, and my son has a 2007 we bought from my MIL. Mechanically, they are almost identical, save for mine having the extra 4x4 power train stuff. The 2007 has 155K. Just put new coils on it. The A/C seems to have lost its freon all of a sudden, but haven't diagnosed that yet. Was working great just before winter. Only big issue was a catalytic convertor that's innards crumbled. Mechanic shop wanted $2900 for one side. With parts from Rock Auto, I did both sides, and all 4 O2 sensors for $700. I reused the secondary cats, after a good cleaning. With proper maintenance, and your driving style, 200K should be a cake-walk.

If the hole is 1/8 or 3/16", a paper-clip is about all you can get in there. There might be a very special tool for this, but it will still cost way more than several drill bits. I would use cobalt bits, high-speed, and very slow feed. And lube. Everything is better with lube.

Might have to try that, but I suspect it's very similar to Tri-Flow lubricant.

Worth the research, in my opinion. BTW, I don't know if your tire is cupped, but your swing-arm appears to be inside out.🤔
