Kinda looks like he forgot his glasses and grabbed is ol lady's Lightning in a bottle lol.... 200 watt monster!
Not familiar with this lightning in a bottle. This is like having your mouth held open and a fistful of nicotine shoved down your throat lol. That tfv12 tank is top of the line and I can see why. I feel like the last guy on the planet to trade in his carb for fuel injection lol.

Finally ditched my 10yr old E-cig design and went high tech. This thing is a friggin monster. 200w capable but I can only stand 70w lol. It's like going from a Fiat to a Ferrari. First hit I got dizzy and had to sit down lol.View attachment 43902

Behind the seat, did you remove old pipes or shove out of the way?
Oh ok. The one that goes from under seat to air box has to come out. Room is pretty tight under there. Remove the coils/brackets when installing for little extra room. The tube from under seat running to front of vehicle can be left in but at the least I would plug or cover the opening. All kinds of nasties will take up residence there. One of these days I plan to remove mine. Only left it in case I changed my mind about snorkel. After over a year of being happy with it, I think it's safe to remove lol.

This was NOT an easy pic to take lol. I've made jigs to cover every variable. New mount is exactly positioned where passenger side is. Just gotta prep the metal and remove some of the bent original mount. I'm taking my time and trying to leave nothing to chance.

It's official, she's street legal and tagged. Drove it to Tractor Supply and grabbed some feed then to gas station for some lawn mower gas. People really look at you strangely as you pass lol. Gotta admit that was really fun.View attachment 19902

I'm in Franklin county. Very very rural and everyone in the clerk's office is female and at least 60 lol. Bunch of very nice ladies. No trouble whatsoever getting tag. I wasn't worried anyways since I was 100% in compliance with the law. I'll tell ya.....Nothing like legally cruising past Johnny law in your sxs lol

I may just leave mine in too. Never know when a warranty job will come up lol. Course if I keep on the road I'm currently on.....Warranty won't be worth the paper it's written on lol
I know how ya feel. I pretty sure that really expensive extend warranty I paid for is useless now
