One 2007 SS headlight casing, one 2007 LT, LS, or other headlight casing. Something on the assembly line, or the assembler grabbed the wrong one.. no big deal really. They just got me a new 06 headlight so they matched.

Oh ya, and it does depend on how fast you were going too...

But i got two "Excessive Speeding" tickets in one year (30+ km over) and no points docked.

That is just crazy so you just get fined? bizarre. in manitoba if you get a ticket you get points. I would have thought that everywhere but apparently not so.... LOL

radar detectors are not illegal either?

If you find a set of 2 polished rims for sale for cheap, let me know.
I'll buy the one off of you, or what ever.

I still haven't gotten that rim fixed since the 'Wakaw incident'.

You guys should get the gunmetal, and paint'em up black! That would look great! Or polish the centre spoke, and paint between the spokes black! That would look sick!

Well I called Kelvin's today and they want $130 to strip the clearcoat off, refinish the whole wheel, polish then reclearcoat. I've been looking on here and there is one guy selling 4 for $400 in alberta I might have to jump on.

Yeah, I talked to Kelvin's last year about that. He quoted me $110 to fix that small ding on mine.
If I don't find a new wheel in a few months, I'll just get Kelvin to fix it.

I'll have to do the same as I noticed the other day putting mine on that one got chewed up a bit somehow over the winter. Mine are the gunmental with polished lip so hopefully that doesnt make it more expensive.

And if I have to remove another "help me" post in the How-To section I'm going to blow a gasket.

Blarg, I'd hate to be an admin here.

I know what you mean.
At least moderating sportriders is half decent.... it's mostly veteran riders, who happen to be post ******... so we pretty much let them roam free.

Hey.... that wasn't my fault...
I blame the Dept of Highways for lack of signage.

When they were trying to fix the highway by Wakaw they had all the holes filled with crushed asphalt and gravel.
One evening, I was heading back from my parents place (traveling though Wakaw).
It was stormy, so the rain washed all the filler gravel out of the holes.
The Dept of Highways neglected to put up their signs as to where the holes were, and I hit the first pothole pretty. Apparently a piece of broken up asphalt flipped up and gouged my rim...

I'm really surprised that's all that was damaged.... it was pretty nasty.

When it first happened, you coud have gotten it fixed or replaced, and then give the Dept. of Holidays the bill. Your awful roads did this to my rim. (although if you gotten it replaced, they would probably want to see the damage.)
A few people in our area did that with their fancy rims, sent the bill to our department of holidays. They paid it, but never really fixed the holes...

I tired to go though SGI about it, which is why it never got fixed.
My bad.... SGI FTL!
