Before you read, I know the tube in the picture is an EVO tube, i was too lazy to go to the garage and get a Shovel tube.



Change out your stock early models, or make you late models leak proof.

From the quantities listed above, do you offer conveniently packed kits? I'm sure many would be interested.

SELF INTRODUCTION: Hi Dan, thanks for your time and energy spent on this new board. I hope you will give me a waiver on the email account, I have used gmail so long I don't have a clue what my service provider account is.
I just returned home from a 2 week trip in New Mexico, have a few good pix, can't wait to share my off-highway traveling. Got to put 1400 miles on the scoot.

When I worked at a gas station, we would spread cat litter on oil spots and twist/crush it onto the concrete.
Seemed to get rid of the stain.
