When is the next time you could take a look at it and see? I am going to try to show you the problem and explain it but it is probably best seen in person.

Basically as you know I am a dude well equipped to handle winter weather (ie chubby) and I like to race the 500 (read plush suspension) so under hard breaking going into left hand corners I actually begin to drag the headers on the ground and have leaned over far enough comfortable where they start to unweight the rear wheel. I have plenty of clearance going right but going left they seem to just be a problem. I have two pictures here, one of a 500 with the same exhaust as mine, and one where you can sort of see the problem I am talking about. You should know that on the stock 500 the pipes are tucked real close to the frame.

bike with exhaust


headers being a problem

that road was amazing to ride. The hype about the law enforcement was not true either.

That's actually not deals gap but some road not that far south in SC/GA. I'd love to hit up deals gap someday though.

that RX7 looks great.... i've always wished they came with 4x100 wheels... sigh... that way i'd take the bbs wheels and stick them in a miata. (where they belong) cause the miata bbs wheels are uncomable by. (if that's a word)
