Not me :P
I'm going to wait and see if it works...Does the umhw have a bearing in it? I have found that if you just have a bolt going thru it the center hole wears quickly, but if it has a bearing it should last forever, providing you don't squash it with chain pressure
I have used them as a slider in sheet form i n the past to stabilize the chain and protect the caliper in case of chain derailment/failure

it is delrin. on a 1/2" bolt.. i made a tensioner in the same fashion for my dads manuer spreader, running a 60 series chain at like 5000rpms, and the delrin roller has hardly any wear marks on it..  plus if mine wears out quickly its super cheap to replace. i can always stuff a bearing on that bolt...  does livewire never come online? i need brake lines badly..


also--- anyone have an ideas for mufflers? i need to run duals, but dont wanna use the stock mufflers because they seem so restrictive.. ideas???

The crossover helps low speed torque . it would be best to keep it as original but not IMO enough difference to remake them now. Why don't you ask questions BEFORE you do something? .

VooDoo - these guys are getting old.  (I am too, that's why I ask first, then do.)

I admire that you will try first - then rework if need be.  You are learning more than you know.  And, I sense you might be more of a hands on type learner rather than a theory learner....  Nothing wrong with that at all.  The only downside is that feedback can come across as "negative" after you have already worked it through to the best of your abilities. 

Whereas suggestions before it is built sometimes flow more freely and you may be more receptive to them..... 

I know they would stop you if it was a real issue.  It was not too many decades ago that Mastr was doing it the same way....

im not gonna re work it.. was just curious about the crossover..  if you could stand here and look at my buggy, with the exhaust going the normal route under the engine, that would have put it the lowest part of the buggy. didnt wanna risk crushing my exhaust.  :)   now about these oil cooler lines.

Hell it was yesterday!!!LOL!!! I read somewhere that the person with the biggest failure pile was the guy that also comes up with the best ideas. I wasn't meaning to rag on VDC at all. Hell ,I admire his will to do.  Yummi ,you have a good point-we WOULD tell him if it was a "fatal" mistake. As a suggestion tho I would have routed the exhaust out one side or the other and kept it a 4-2-1 0R 4 into 1 arrangement.Another thing that is not addressed the way they are now is the fact that the exhaust may sound radically different than it did on the bike . Also I didn't pay attention but you may have them out of order. What is the firing order of the engine? The tubes running into a common muffler SHOULD be 180 degrees apart in the firing order.
