Nothing cures a stolen superbike hangover like buying more shit for another project. Here is a little spread of goodies I'm installing this week!

Are those the Livewire plug wires? Another member posted them a couple days ago, and although that was the first time I had heard of them, they looked pretty nice!

The wires are from Davis Unified Ignition. Gotta add a little purple to my DA RC RT! Now I sound like you guys!

You are correct sir! Summit sent me the wrong plug wires. They offered those for the mopar 360 V8, just not like the one in my 1999 R/T like I ordered. New ones are back ordered for a bit. Anybody know what size spark plug socket I need for this truck?

Hey Kev, no real sunburn here. Maybe a little on the arms. Troy, bubbling has stopped but that first day did the damage. I wetsanded it that night and it looks much better now but you can still see lots of little fish eyes.

Hey Brian, I have gap insurance to cover what insurance doesn't. Im just scared im going to get royally fucked on my aftermarket accessories. I have receipts but they totaled over $5,000 on the bike.

It's not just a Cali thing.

First time I heard of a Bike Being stolen at an Apartment Complex was in Orlando Florida.

Since then heard of it in Dallas, Houston, and Atlanta.

Thank for all the help Garrett! Truck rides awesome now. Still getting a squeak under the passenger side in the back somewhere. When I rock the truck back and forth it has a knocking sound. I'm going to climb under there and make sure we got that rear shock tight. I know it was a pain to get it off.

No problem, it was a pretty fun day.

Those shocks were pretty tight, but it wont hurt to double check. Also, spray a bit of oil on the leaf spring bushings and shackles, they might be causing the squeak.

The knocking might just be the tailgate support bars, or something with those "custom" exhaust hangers.

For the squeaking, you might try spraying the little pads that separate the leaf springs. Of course with the shackle hangers it might be those as well.

I'm pretty sure it's the brakes on the passenger side. It's making a metal to metal noise when I press the brake pedal and when I pump the pedal real fast it squeaks on the front and rear. I think the components are rubbing together when the truck hits bumps. I'm going to have to schedule a day at Garrett's again to resolve this!
