"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."


Great tip Tifo. That's now on the list. Also a bump for the rain water question. So far, any probs with that ST.. BTW thanks for the pm.

yep, that's it. Would a reversed NACA duct, aft of the IC duct, work to pull the hot ambient air in the bay, out of the bay, thus keeping the Intake Manifold temp a bit cooler?

Good question, I wonder if they are as efficent in reverse as they are forward.
