massive reconfiguration time again.
How bout cutting that exhaust pipe back so the tip just lines up with the rocker?
At that angle your putting a fair amount of heat into an already soft tire.
And as a friend of mine I take more liberty with you than I would with most so dont take what I say as anything more than me messing with you.
I really appreciate the time you spent helping me. It's a dam shame you're so far away.
