Re: Rig finally up and running

It takes time. You have many options! Seriously, most people don't have that many options for a dedicated rig. It will come together. Good job.

Re: Side of the road find RT1000i

I don't see any warping in the plastic housing itself. I would think if it was hot enough to blacken the epoxy it would distort the plastic too.

Well there is some very high temp plastics or polymers in use. Think Glock....

Re: Speaker Gaskets - The best to use in 2025

Thanks Guys.
So my gut as a car guy was to replace all gaskets, but if you guys say if they are not torn leave it.
I dont think any of mine were damaged on removal was I'll just put the stockers right back in.

Very good intel on burning a hole vs just pushing the screw through if I had to make new gaskets.

Thanks for the continuing education (and enabling LOL).

Armaflex tape works as well. You will need to cut it to fit. Whether you use armaflex or the PE gasket stuff remember to cut on the diagonal were ends meet or you'll have an air leak.
A soldering iron works good to burn screw hols where needed. IME just pushing the screw through material can cause it to grab the material and twist it up sometimes.

Re: Then and now (kind of) more motorcycle stuff

Those Triumphs triples have a great exhaust note! That is the first I've seen a rear fender/turn signal/tag holder like that. Is that a factory configuration or aftermarket?
