Don't know, to be honest. I got it from a private guy, and I did a lot of work to it after.
The wire is 1/4x1/4 stainless from Pegasis (formula car supply).

Thought you guys would like the washer delete. That is a Vitesse part # - $3.00 a side. The price will come down slightly if you want to do a group buy.

I don't think ST will very much appreciate a group buy on his MAmma. Just guessing.

Now where'd you get the vent, and how much dammit?

James: Would you be sucking in more cooler air rather than removing the heat??

Hey Hos,
Theres a lip at the front of the vent. That's to create
a low pressure area at the opening of the vent so that
air would be suck out. Aerodynamics 101 my friend

Wanna know what works great for headlight washer delete plugs (other than the factory plug, which sometimes is hard to find)?

Go to your local bikeshop, and ask one of the techs if he has any left-over bar-end plugs from roadbike handlebar tape. You want the flatish ones from the cheaper tapes, as the Cinelli tape (the good stuff) has rounded end plugs.

Just paint the plugs to match, and pop them in.
