Cool. I definitely couldn't feel a distinct pulsing.

EDIT: Rick contacted and vacuum hose ordered. He gave me the hard sell on Nitron shocks for good measure.

Good arrows.. Rick is too cool for school.

I want a Nitron..but cannot quite justify it yet

Right, one brand new Rick-O hose fitted! Had to open a beer as soon as I saw what a bugger it would be.

Didn't need to take the carbs off but crushed my hand a bit squeezing it through the frame.

Next ride will be with (hopefully) smoother fueling and brand-new Battlax 92s!
