I should have mentioned that I want to attach the hinge without the use of rivets on the top cowl. I have located a few web sites that show how to attach the hinge with rivets, but I have a clear coat carbon fiber top cowl that I don't want to see rivets on. I think I can just glass in the

Bob, They are 26 inches, I just cut the bar in half. No I have not flown it yet. I did not test them, but I felt they would be plenty strong. If they can hold the weight of a KR2 in a horizontal position. I would think they could hold even more at a 45 degree angle. You can also gain more

Phil, I am going to go with the recommendation forwarded on from Joe Horvath at Revmaster, and that is to use 10 W 50. I am also using Valvoline, but don't really know why I chose that one. I do not have a problem with overheating, in fact, I have the opposite, on the Oil temp. I will let you
