I'm gonna risk it... I won't take in the up close picture that shows the header... You only need a picture of the front, back, and both sides... I will bring some pictures from the day when I crashed, but not one that shows the header well.

The only problem will be this picture, which when shrunk down and printed out shouldn't be too noticeable...


This picture will stay at home:

wonder if Trip could help you out with photoshop? just to make sure it doesn't show up on the shrunken version?

Looks good... you can also take some black heat paint and paint the straps over.

Oh and by the way... those straps SUCK! They will brake later. I suggest standard issue hose clamps.

Oh and on the first time you fire it up... have it outside. They will smoke like a bitch! Run them thru a few heat cycles... the first one shoudl run till they quit smoking then turn them off and let them cool till you can touch them... then run for another cycle... then cool... then you're good to go.

Yeah, I read that elsewhere... I need to pick up the header wrap sealant stuff anyway, so I'll pick up some hose clamps to finish it off right... I'll make sure to run them through a couple cycles, but from what I've read, they'll probably smoke for longer than two heat cycles...

Nah.. I got a vid of a guy burnin his in... you can see how bad they smoke and about how long it lasts...

Here's what I'm talking about..
