Right, it's the violence with witch it hits the top that bothers me, still some combo should work.

Thing is, my struts are great in warmer weather, so the high powers will be crazy in the heat!

Don't really "feel" a diff or notice but its just that good feeling inside that better oil is in there!! Does feel very good though. Rear tires flipped. Oil and PI, brand new plugs. She feels good. Fk ill deal w the covers later after the Houston trip. Hope she will be ok for the round trip.

These have to be the best looking wheels I've seen on a Zed... (other opinions do exist tho) - totally gorgeous.

I got my valve covers from them about 2 months ago. As of a week ago when I changed my oil, I checked my spark plugs, no more oil in the recesses.

Took it boating as here in the UK we've had torrential rain for days and everywhere is underwater. Some places a couple of inches and other places a few feet. At least I've found out that my ZED is watertight.

Combo of one OEM and one HP works great.


Different note, mounted my NT03's today so I now have a full set of matching wheels. Flipped my front tires , drained my oil. Now I have to get an adapter for my oil temp sensor , bleed my front brakes and a couple other minor things for the track this weekend.
