That's a good point. I bought a manual on CD through eBay for my Warrior, but haven't gotten one for the 300EX yet. Thanks TP.

Badlands is a great place to ride we are going up on the weekend of the 2nd and 3rd of April. like mentioned in the other post I would stay away from the port and polish for the possible problems that could happen it would not be worth the small increase in power, unless you have it done by a pro.

Yeah, we're only about an hour from the Badlands, so we go pretty often. I've been to Princeton before, when they had the 4 Wheel Jambo down there several years ago.
