Went to villia rica to pick up my dynomax this evening, was a very nice cruise with the new tires on, I am glad I decided to go for performance tires and not looks.

It sounds great

Did Kauffman's have any trouble balancing the wide 5 wheels?

at first they did until they found the bigger adapter for the machine, tires ride nice and smooth. It seemed like everyone there wanted to have a part in putting these tires on the bug, they all loved it.

That would be Kauffman's tire Hwy 5 Douglasville!

are the old tires still good and do you want to sell them

ok just thought id ask haha

replaced my front bearings and greased everything up with the green greese. The front still had ball bearings I replaced them with roller bearings. steering seems a whole lot better now that I greased it all, for some reason I never done it before. The rear is coming up next... just taking it slow while Im healing from the surgery. My camera broke I have to dig up my 2 mp one.

Fixed my exhaust problem, I had to cut and re-weld the flange to 12 o'clock well more like 12:15 position to tuck the phatboy a little better so It will have less of a chance snagging on some crap and really destroying the headers. It probably moved it up about 6 inches... looks a hell of a lot better, all that is needed is a new gasket for that flange. I had to buy some header gaskets for Chevy and cut them up for the exhaust ports, seemed to work better than what was on there.
The rear bearing leak I fixed some how Migrated to the opposite side Time to do it again, I will wait till work to do it, the torque wrench is better there... using a breaker bar and going by feel for torque just didn't do the job I guess, I did break my good 1/2" drive ratchet trying to do that, it just sheared off right into my good 3/4" step up socket.

I hit 6k rpms pulled all the way and had more GIGGITY

we need to race, hahaha. Mine pulls harder and harder, and harder, till the turbo starts getting angry at the dizzy for not being reatarded more, and starts to sputter, but still pulls hard. i have no idea why the motor hasn't blown yet ............. . so we need to race before i blow up

bye-bye toby... Hello Jana.
