thats not bad if it hasn't broken in ken, do you think this skimmer will be able to skim dry or do you think it has to be skimmed wet like that, btw accidentally clicked on your picture of your bike ___ its a beaut!!

man i miss riding, sold my bikes last year and really missed it this summer!! People just don't understand the feeling of being out on the open road unless they've gotten behind the handlebars on an epic day, nice too see other reefers with similar interests outside reefing!

Cool Homeboy,just traded that Electraglide and my Buell Firebolt for a newer ElectraGlide that does wheelies

. I would really like to give these skimmers another day or two before saying what theses can or can not do. Pic is with a crappy point and shoot with horrible lighting.

no way i had an 06 xb12r also, really liked that bike i got a salvaged one that only had to have the fairings and the tail section replaced, it was a real hoot to ride definitely a hooligan bike.

The cs200 is not that turbulent. THe q1 pump is a better fit for his design. hte mesh works well. no issues. Remember too I had a prototype skimmer as well. The skimmer works well for the price point. But when the price jumps up to the 399 they purpose i think it will be a harder sell. but for $299 it is a great buy. Its no Mojo cone skimmer by anymeans. lol.
Jk
