    Mirrors?

    Hey All, One thing that I didn't get to last year was the replacement of the mirrors which are basically only good for looking at my shoulders. Any recommendations for the bar end kind?

    UFO Performance Products--You decide

    I stated some of this in a thread regarding service and the lack thereof, but I think Mike Lee at UFO Performance Products in Royalton, OH, needs to be held accountable for his treatment of me and from what I've heard, others. To recap, I sent the swing arm from my 2001 VMAX to Mike for...

    Beautiful Work by Sandy Kosman

    Got my wheel back from Sandy Kosman who modified it to accept a radial. The welds are "flawless", according to Norm at Rochester Motorsports. Norm is mounting Michelin Pilot Road 4's with a 180/55/17 on the rear. He thinks that a 190 MIGHT fit but based on his measurements of the wheel and...

    FRUSTRATED......arghhhhh!!!

    Sent my rear wheel out in January to have it modified to accept a radial. It's not back yet. Was told three weeks ago that it was going to be shipped that week. A call yesterday to find out what's going on and find out that it hasn't been completed let alone shipped. Was told that it...

    Hey Guys! Sandy Kosman has my wheel and is going to start working on it this weekend. What tire brand would you suggest? I'm decided to go with a 17" wheel due to the larger selection of tires available versus the 18", so do you have any recommendations? Thanks! Spring WILL...
