Usually the SIP bikes are modified to the nuts which doesn't do much for reliability. For example clutches that can take the added hp have a heavier spring which increases the force required to operate the clutch which places more strain on the clutch cable. So, clutch cables break more often than o...

Shipping Info

At the rally, or recent meeting, someone (Kevin?) said they knew a shipping company that would ship bikes across the border. I have another bike I want to ship up from the US. I can do it again the same way I did the last time but I'd rather not if I don't have to.

Still going back and forth on the SS. Hasn't got around to (or won't) giving me the serial numbers of the body and engine yet. Also trying to find out if he has a bill of sale. Otherwise he sent more pictures and it all looks about the way it should.

Just a crazy suggestion but one I thought might be worth considering.
