Hey Ian,On your bike,looking at the Lucas reflectors,is the name Lucas on the top or is it upside-down?Dumb question, but I guess Lucas would have designed its reflectors to be placed with their name in an upright position.Mine currently are inverted,I shined a million candlepower spot at them,they seem to actually reflect.What do you think.IM probably being way too anal on this one.Another question that has me puzzled.I have a big bore eldo.I like the look of the stock ambo/eldo peashooters.I have a set,when I run them the bike feels like it is suffering a bit from exhaust restriction,the cyls. get kinda warm as compared to when I run Mac fishtails.The bike feels like it decelerates much more freely with the Macs,With the peashooters,when I go off throttle,the bike doesn't slow down as rapidly with engine braking effect.My main concern is that i dont want to melt a piston by using a much too restrictive exhaust.The bike feels totally different running the fishtails yet i like the look of the peashooters.Any constructive feedback much appreciated.We just got a foot of snow here,I was riding last Sat.,froze my nads off but still enjoyed it.Cant ride for a couple weeks until the latest application of sand and salt has left the roadway.Thanks Scott K. Hillsboro,NH
