Im waiting too Joe. Hey Joe by the way, Im gonna try the idea about the exhaust diverter in the other thread you spoke about. Im almost ready to do the JB Weld thing and Im gonna use some Fiberglass cloth. Oh yes and on the boom strike thing, I think my new crutch design has almost solved the majority of boom strikes. I did a couple of hard bounces between today and yesterday to see what would happen. with the stock crutch, I more than likely would have had a funny looking boom by now. Im sure if i smacked the ground really really hard, I might be able to produce a boom strike. I didnt want to go that far. Check out the pic. All I have to do with the exhaust is jb weld it. First I want to clean it up real good and get all the oil residue off. That is just on there by friction. I think This is a good Idea, At least a worth a try for me.
