| Well I guess it was the end of January or Feb and James had just finished testing the new "extreme" sheave for the Viking. He did a drawing for it and I was lucky enough to win it!!!!! | |

| well freak!!!!!!!! Got the sheave all done and it ran like a scalded ape until it slung the grease out of the primary. Looks like I pinched the o-ring putting it back together. And there isn't another one in the state of Texas!! I'll post some pics tonight after I get done crying in my beer. On a good note, the 30's were throwing rooster tails!!!!! Thank you James for taking my calls and helping me figure out what was going on. Customer support at it's finest!!! | |

| I forgot to mention, during the reassemble Friday night, when I got to the secondary to change the spring, I didn't own a socket big enough. So Friday was a bust at that point. had to go into town and find one. Tractor supply came through and I was back in business today...at least until the o-ring thing! James is sending me another one (two actually) and I'll give it another shot next weekend. Thank you James for all you do!!! | |

| Well I was messing around in the garage yesterday (while I am waiting on some more goodies from James) and I had these 6" LEDs lights left over from another failed idea. So. instead of returning them I mounted them on the front. I still need to finish the wiring, but I need to go to the auto parts store and get some quick connects because I know I am going to have to remove the front when I install the EPS (one of these days). I'll try and get some pics tonight. | |

| Here is the before and after sound clips. It is definitely louder than I had hoped for, however I sure do like the sound of it!!! It's running really lean now, so James is going to take care of that with the cdi box. https://youtu.be/LNLJksJ6VuQ https://youtu.be/5_gA_aKI0b4 | |

| I have tons more low end power, the top speed was just a benefit. Once again, I have to give credit to JBS, James and Nikki's quick shipping. Thank you for all you do to help us enjoy our toys!!!!!! | |

| One of the guys on the Viking forum sheared and drilled these for me. Going to install them in between the exhaust and differential to help keep heat off the diff. Don't know how good it works, don't know if it is really needed. But it seemed like a good idea and you know what they say, "an once of prevention..." | |

| Have I told you guys how much I love James and Nikki? EVERYTIME I have ordered something, whether it's on a Mon or a Wed, they always manage to get my stuff here by Friday so I can install it over the weekend. You rock JBS!!! | |

| Well taking off the roll cage wasn't an option because the light bar and stereo wires run through the cage and the front plastic, so I did this.... | |
