    Garage lights question

    I had the same problem in the winter and I switched to LED's last fall and they are brighter and work great. I bought my lights at lowe's but the lights in that youtube video look like a better deal. I recently painted most of the bare drywall on the walls and ceiling in my garage with some left...

    Mooneyes Moon Discs - anyone tried them?

    i saw a guy on TCU used pizza pans from wally world and it looked cool and I'm sure it cost alot less ! As for balancing issues, just use dyna beads and you should be fine. I use 'em in my stock mag wheels om my sportster and they've been great, even at speeds in excess of 100 mph .

    Another new guy

    I just had to post and tell you that I really dig your looped hardtail sections. If I do another hardtail I'll use one instead of building my own this time.
