LOL

Pics for what?

Jerk all the **** off cap all the openings except for the vent solenoid, the filler tube, and the dizzy ports.

Besure to make an anti afterburn valve and check valve plate to cover them up, remove the cats , replace with straight pipe and remove the door stop looking air pump. Also ridding yourself of the shutter valve should round this off nicely..

Aahhh yes, duck tape. If you can't fix it, duck it, If you can't duck it, **** it, It was never meant to be fixed anyway..lol This has been my motto since I was 10 yrs old. My first duck tape job was a flat tire on my bike. Rode that sucker for 3 weeks before I replaced the tube. ****, why replace it if it works? Besides, I was always getting thorns in my tires or popping tubes on the half pipe or from street riding, and when your young and broke, a flat tire could ruin your whole day/week. lol

Pratch prepared a very well detailed and visual how-to on how to properly remove the Rats nest.

It wouldn't hurt to give him a small donation for his efforts either.

I am Sorry!, I wasn't sure who collaborated with who to make that fine write-up. You guys did an excellent job on that.

By the way, I still have to publicly thank Pratch for my new Bad-*** Computer wallpaper.

Yes, don't forget to give Carl the props - without him, this tutorial wouldn't exist. Let's just say that I'm not quite as mechanically inclined as him, eh?

If Carl can do it, I can try and explain it in a fashion that makes sense to lesser mortals - afterall, that's the category that I fall into. I can see what's being done, hear the advanced tech-speak that Carl throws down and then translate it into easier to understand language.

If I can re-read the tutorial and understand things when coupled with the pictures, we have a successful tutorial. Btw, Carl - need the DLIDFIS and ICAI fab info.
