Well that is just sad to see. So much of the information they host is right from Pete's site (text and images). Now if the design itself has been ripped off. Suppose some PMA items suggest they don't mind that business approach.
Purchased a chain tensioner from InfantileBehavior. It was shipped super quick, communication was goodl, and packaged up item nicely. Smooth and easy the ideal transaction!

Do you know specifics on what the current jetting is increased to?

I agree the spare tire covers are chopper classic. I started off with one on my project but found the one I had to be a little thin for a fender mounted taillight. This was shortly after my first ride in 2012. It was great to have it rolling down the road under it’s own power.

I ran a tire cover for the rear fender for bit in the first couple hundred miles. It was thinner and I keep breaking mounts around my welding (sure it was too hot as I'm just a hobby MIG welder). Sparto defiantly didn't help as I'm sure it has enough mass to vibe the fender pretty hard.
