As I went to the Western Rally and saw many examples of the best mods for FJ's I wanted bright lights like many of the bikes there. Eastern Beaver light mod was number one on my list, today I installed the headlight mod on my streetfighter. It took all day but when I was done now headlights are bright and no dimming at idle and hot and bright now at night no more am I unlit. Good coverage and hard to overdrive my lights. Thanks to all for showing me the light.

Regards

Good for you.....See what happens when you go to rallies?

It was great riding with you Cash..... Cash and I were on our way to the WCR on Hwy 20 west of I-5 heading up to Clearlake when we got plastered by that bastard flying the crop duster....

Where else can you have that kind of fun?

Yea, we were watching him dust the fields next to Hwy 20. The plane flew perpendicular past the highway and Cash and I thought we had an opening, but the bastard spun a freaking impossible 180 degree turn, just above stall speed, came in over our blind side and nailed us.

I swear I could hear him laughing......

He may have been...

When I worked with cropdusters, we had a challenging field out on the east side. There were some high-tension powerlines on the north end of the field, paralleling the road. Overall height about 150', the lowest wire was about 40' though. When John would be running his northbound pass, he'd look along the road, and if there wasn't any traffic, he'd go under the wires. If he saw a schoolbus or a truck, he'd go over. Then came the chandelle to reverse course and shoot under/over the wires again.
We'd only do this when he was in a good mood and it was daylight. (Most of our spraying was at night.) This gave much better coverage on the field's northern edge.

Those were fun times, we only had one crash and one wire-strike while I was there.  :dance2:

Good move, Cash.  Now you can burn a hole in front of you.  Cars will notice (but they are still texting).
