I've plowed water with the headlight, not on a Harley, though. You can't stop when you're doing that, or the trough behind the bow wave fills in and the carb sucks water - and you just hope there aren't any deeper spots... Yeah, did some silly stuf in my young and healthy days.
For you just shipping. Not one on trying to make a buck off of good peeps. If my stuff was all new like I might try for some $$$ but its not. I have 3 full time students so its like feeding baby birds. I pop in an read when I can but no time to post.

Well, that was unexpected 3 full time students... you have my sympathies. well, so far all I know is the pipes and one of the sets of heads. Which one you think would work best for a 95" build...
Previously, (last week?), we covered stump removal 101.
This week we will have a look at tree removal...101. lol
The tree in question was allowed to grow somewhere around 50' once again, (as were the stumps), due to my inattentiveness & negligence & is in a bad spot between the fences, the garage next door & the power lines that run from the pole to the house. There is a space of about 4' to drop it into.
Exhibit A.
The errant tree...
Exhibit B.
As you can see in this photo the lines run through or very near the tree & my main concern has been a heavy wet snow weighing down the limbs above the lines possibly snapping the lines. If this were to happen the responsibility of having the lines re-strung would fall on my shoulders. Not something I care to hassel with if not need be.
Sooo...
Down it came. (Well most of it anyway).
The last piece is the most worrisome in that it leans over the lines & no matter how I make the cut it will fall on them as is evidenced in this photo.
The limbs immediately above the lines have been removed so no worries about the snow thing & with someone pulling in the proper direction on the rope I have already attached to the last piece of the tree it too will fall between the garage & the fence. (But not today)
Maybe someday I'll do a concrete or a lawn care 101 but don't hold your breath. lol

The heads will work just fine. Stock silver heads. What model it this for? The touring heads have a mounting boss that mine do not have. My other set of heads have a crack in them.

The county or whatever entity, (X-cel Energy), only worries about trees that interfere with their lines. Any lines that run between the pole & the house are the homeowners responsibility.
