The molds are supposed to be finished up Wednesday, so I'll be able to inspect the final tank outcome on Thursday or later. I'll likely head up on Friday for that. Then assuming there aren't any more delays, it'll be a week for them to make the production run. Next, I'll need to order in all the K&N filters and come up with the instructions. So that's going to be at least another week. Thanks!

Trying to get info on MH900e fuel tank; possibly visiting the manufacturer on Thursday. Massive progress will be made Thursday when all 5 types of 2V engines are delivered to the exhaust maker's facility along with another SS (this one is an ie).
Parts ordered (finally) for the “street” RS that I've promised to Rex. (promised last year!)

Sorry for being so behind!! The whole team have been working double duty helping out with the exhaust system R&D. We had to swap engines for a special project to construct a 1000SS out of a M1000 and a SS750. That's going out to the fab team this week. We're at 20 hours of work this week already…
I'm hoping to get to everyone's backed up e-mails Tuesday… Thanks!!

We just dropped off the prototype MBP exhaust system to a manufacturer. “No problem” was the answer to each question asked. Awesome. When we get dates and $$$ info, we'll post the info.

Thanks to the DML and DOCSD members who came out on a fine Saturday afternoon to learn about braking technology. Thanks, too, to Jeff Gehrs of BrakeTech for sharing his generous knowledge with us. Thanks also to Jeff for the generous discounts extended to the attendees!

This hasn't been a good week for technology. Our host's e-mail server suffered a strange meltdown and we're seeing e-mails from 3 days ago trickling in. Our primary phone number got nuked sometime Wednesday. Thankfully, these problems are solved and bonus: I'm feeling better off my cold.

We're still sick, but the pizza-brake tech event is still on for Saturday!
