Here is a story that I posted on the Sambe from a recent adventure down in the Outer Banks of NC.  I'll do a seperate thread over here when I get some free time.

Pat, I've tried to respond to you the few places that you asked me, albeit usually weeks after you've asked. Everything I had was installed or purchased with the buggy. The only thing I still have is the skidplate that I would like to see if we can get back on #1630. Sorry.

Peter, I sent you my email....I got pictures and any information that you may need.

Thats SurfNC...He is or was a member that lives on the Outer Banks Very nice guy..... if you're ever in the area give him a shout, he may show you around some great beaches.

I'm almost there through a strange series of event however I got stopped right here. Solve this and the rest should be down hill. It appears as if my bumper is a bit offset by about an inch from on side to another. My thinking is to use a come-along to see if I can bend the whole bumper to buy me ab...

Thank you for checking into that Jerry. I spoke to John at AC.net and he is sending me some Bugpack offset manifolds. These have less material at the base and are at leat 1" shorter than the CB's Looking at what is written here, that should get me really close and address some of the issues dic...

Mike, Thanks for the pictures but as Don mentioned, The Signature series has some issues of it's own. i have a possible solution on the way. I'll keep everyone posted in case it comes up again. DPG

Don, I am working with a Siggy too, I appreciate the response. Would you happen to have a link of the manifolds that you bought? (If you bought them online) Also, what size air filters are you using? Did you need the optional return spring or did it make it that much better? Thank you!

I was hoping that we could revisit this..... I am trying to put Weber 44's on my Siggy. I thought I was ahead of the curve be using type 3 manifolds and the csp linkage. turns out it doesn't work because I don't have clearance at the cylinder tin. http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z271/Siggymanx33/...

Bud, There was a fair showing of people from NY, NJ, PA that showed up at Carlisle to meet Bruce. It wasn't record setting, but then again, Carlisle is in the middle of nowhere. I looked at the registry a few years ago and was supprised that MA, NY, PA had a lot of members. I suppose that has a lot ...

Jon, I saw your work today. Even better in person than what appears in the pictures. I'm not sure how familiar you are with the SS, But I was wondering if you know if the SS windshield can be used with the Kickouts traditional hood? Again, great job!

How would one go about fixing the ABS body? Could you treat it the same way you do fiberglass?
