you can now get a IMS tank made for the tw200 from procycle. I've installed one, it wasn't to difficult. It doubles the fuel capacity of the T-dub!

That's a good little video. You might want to think about moving your license plate in case you get an overzealous cop who wants to give you a ticket cuz he can't see your license plate. I did that online. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦

Yeah my KX300 fell off my black widow rack 2 days ago. I didn't have it in gear Even with the ratchet straps it rolled off to one side The straps did their job but it was my fault. Luckily the KLX only suffered minor damage I was only doing about 10 mph. So yeah strapping down one tire is definitely important

Don’t obscure your tag, I move my tag to the Cycle carrier I installed some LED lights on my camper. Shell, it’s above my TW.

Dude! I made extended pilot screws so you can adjust the mixture on the carb without tools. How do I get in contact with you so I can send you one for freesies?!? It would be sick for the high altitude CO terrain!!!

I got pulled over and got a warning for this exact reason a few years back. State Trooper said he couldn't see my brake lights or turn signals. I promptly added trailer lights to fix the issue.

Nice, I have been by many cops and they didn’t bother pulling me over. But its a good thing to add
