Maybe I have more than one H2 engine. :P

I'll let you ride my H2 when you come to Deal's Gap next year, and you can see for yourself how reeds add fun.

That is so tempting - I am in enough trouble here already, tho ( :lol: ) - plus I couldn't stay on the right (left) side of the road! Let me think about it...!!! :thumbup:

At least my shift lever is reversed for you, even if the roads aren't.

Oh, no - up means up, down means down, sounds like you will have to come here - we have better (twistier and bumpier) roads any way! (Thinks...... Deals Gap 2013, Hmmmm!!)

My wife is going to India for a holiday this year, (Not many H2's there!), so maybe I can think about D.G. - couldn't bring my bike/helmet, etc, but, just maybe! :think: Sorry to hi-jack the thread, m in sc, the set-up looks good, you might put Moo out of business...!! :lol:

Thoughts on thermal expansion rates between the material you use and the engine material. Base polycarbonate can have a coefficient greater than three times that of Aluminum for example. Fiber glass polycarbonate thermal expansion is about the same as Aluminum.

Just a thought... :think:
