At 10:15 AM, my little box of goodness was metered. 5 days to go across the entire country and to the
southern tip of an island which some refer to as "East Overshoe". I bought a musket from a company
in New Hampshire and it took 14 days "Priority mail". Rubbing elbows with the postmaster general, must be.
Thanks for the stickers, they will look just grand on my Cherry Bomb.



These filters look some awesome. Looks like they will work quite a bit better than the chicken wire filters I made.
I only one question- Do they come in red? Oh, never mind :wacko3:
I'll have more orders this summer to get my carbs and brakes in line and will be stocking up on parts for a valve
seal job next winter. Now, I"m gonna screw these on and we'll see if they keep the chickens out. :biggrin:

Thank you Randy

You know what, I've seen red filters someplace. Anyway, black filters on green carbs will look right - it's the charred bit of the burnt fuse.

Those filters are great, you will enjoy them.  As far as I am concerned there is only two ways to go, leave it stock or go with the Unipods.  I looked into shipping my old box to you but the cost was to close to just getting the UniPods.  I also strongly recommend the UniPod filter oil.  It is better than the K&N stuff.
Randy has it along with Cycle Gear and other bike/ATV dealers.

Won't anything work for now like ace hardware spray lube? It asys on a label that came with them cutting solvent. Is that like cutting fluid, cause I got some soluble cutting fluid.

Once you go red, You never go back! or something like that.
You might as well go buy a sixpack of metalcast and a gallon of aircraft remover and get it over with cause your gonna get the red bug.
It always starts with something small, a little more and more. One day you'll wake up and say "I think I'll strip my engine and paint it red"

Anything will work but the UniPod oil is the best IMO. I have used motor oil (dirt bikes), K&N etc. and the Unipod oil is thicker and stickier.  One small can will last you a long time... It is a little different.

Awww, hell to the no...     :negative:

If I catch a painting bug, it'll most likely be satin black.

Something like this just looks badass:
