You have to adjust the e brake cable from below. I powdercoated my calipers this winter, and after re-assembling the calipers my e brake doesn't work very well. I've been adjusting the cable tension to see if it helps, and so far a no-go. I probably mucked something up in the rear caliper. It's such a PITA tearing the rear on apart, I may just go with no e brake.

I had my calipers powdercoated winter before last. When they reassembled the rear caliper they bent a clip for the ebrake. It would work once or twice and them pop loose and not engage. Unfortunately caliper parts are not available. I was able to locate a rear brake caliper from someone who put on big brakes and I took that to a local brake shop that specializes in rebuilds. They swapped out the parts and it has worked fine ever since.

I've been thinking about the AWD conversion for some time. Unfortunately that is beyond the scope of my abilities. I don't have the equipment or the knowledge of those systems. And when it comes to computer systems, I am out to lunch. I hope that is what your working on and look forward to reading more.

I only use my harness when I am in the twisties and plan on hard cornering and I use the oem belt the rest of the time. I don't know who is safer but with a harness you will look better in the casket.

I agree with Wingshot. Have both and use the appropriate one. Having survived some serious crashes on dirt tracks, I can swear by 5 points but I also thing it is a pain sometimes to strap in. I don't have seats yet but I plan on getting RPR's and putting in a good set or SFI rated belts.

And lets face it guys, IMHO, when your number is up, your number is up. I have seen some people survive crashes that they wish they hadn't.

That's what they told me about my '78 Pace Car Corvette. They were wrong.

I have the stock height tinted and love it. I am 6'2" and the wind hits me right at the hairline, which I like. Much better than the stock Blade. It's a very nice piece, high quality.

I did the mod and drove it that way for several months. I then switched back and had the laser alignment and I like it better. It doesn't self center like it did with the mod but I just get a better feel for the front end. Personal preference.

I may be out as well. Been talking with Jeff at DDMworks and I may be ordering some go fast goodies 330HP or not having to bend over to wax it. Hmmmm.

I may be interested in one as well. I have been trying to get a package deal on a SC for a couple of weeks but haven't got a number yet. The money is burning a whole in my pocket. So I may be thinking the lift and some new seats for the SS. Supercharger may have to wait until next year. I would be interested in the 5k unless the boys from DDM get back to me.

I forgot to add, there is a great website that will help you calculate the changes based on wheel and tire sizes. It's http://www.willtheyfit.com. Once you put in the stock sizes, you can input other sizes and it will calculate all the changes. and give you a diagram comparison of the stock vs new size.

Whatever you do, change the front and rear an equal percentage for height. That way it won't mess with your traction control. Your speedo will be off, but you can live with that. I run a 325/30/20 on the rear and my speedo is off 11%. So at 70, I am actually doing 77.

I would be in for a Moonshine run.

I currently have a similar combination on my sling. I ran it for a while before I sent my ecu for the tune. I can say that the tune made more of a difference than adding the mods did. I am sure many on the board would agree that this is a must have mod even if you leave everything stock. Throttle response and drive ability is greatly improved and worth every penny.

All that time I spent covering all these pieces in carbon fiber wrap and now they sell all the pieces. I thought I was going to have something unique and now everyone has it. Oh well, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery .

At least no one has come out with a hood scoop like mine yet.

@bjk81 @D.Sacry @HLC45 I am from Glenarm, just south of Springfield. I tried to get a CI group going back in '15 with no luck. Now that there are a few more owners in the area, maybe we can get something going. I just ran into an old friend from an MC club that I road with and he has one also. We used to do Saturday morning rides for breakfast. Find a diner in a small town somewhere and meet up. Keep it in mind for when the weather gets a little warmer.

I also bought mine from Owen's. But I now have my service work done in Decatur. They have treated me right there.

@chad warren @bjk81 We need to get another Moonshine run planned. I missed most of last summer so I need to put some miles on.

Welcome aboard. Another Illinois rider, What part of Illinois. I am in Springfield area.

I have a Nolan flip up full face, don't remember the model number at the moment. I only use it in rain and below 55 degrees. Also have a half helmet for out of state travel.

I went with a slim subwoofer so I could still get the helmet in the storage compartment with the sub.

I own every tool on that list and can certify that it is 100% correct and accurate. But it is NOT ALL INCLUSIVE. I can add to every tool stupid things that I have done with them that aren't listed, but I won't because I am to proud! Most of them involve blood loss to some extent.

Those are too cool. I want a set.

Nice work Jeff. I'm also interested in the cam. Cost? Is it safe to run with the stock bottom end?
