 :cooldude:Big second to all that was said. I've loved mine from the day I installed it. Easy install with a few simple tools, and done!

BTW, I also have an EE background, and appreciate all that went into this cool upgrade.

I don't know whether if it's ever been done here before, but it's usually unethical to post somebody's real name on the internet. But agreed with jersey's products.

I know who Redeye is. I am sure anyone who purchased from him knows. I would never name him.

I doubt "unethical" is the correct word, but the privacy issues on the internet are touchy. Outing others by IRL names without permission is frowned on in most circles. If you have Jerseys' permission, my apologies for this post

On this site and others, an IRL name (along with location, which most freely post) can get an address and phone. This makes some people uneasy. This info can also be scraped by information bot, causing more junk mail, marketing crap, and spam.

Personally, I am not on any social media and would be irritated if my IRL name became known. I would probably ID myself to those that ask, but that is my choice. Others destroying my privacy by IDing me would anger me, that is not their choice. It is a matter of trust.

As to the original post. I plan on purchasing a few things from Jersey as soon as I can free up some moolah. Jersey should be recognized for his awesome work, but named IRL only if he wants it.

It seems that paranoia runs deep here in the VRCC.

Hello,

My name is JOSH CHAMBERS and I'm a Valkaholic, but not paranoid in anyway whatsoever. I sell LED Headlight kits and am fine with you using my name, because, well, that's how people know who I am?

On a side note, can anyone suggest a Performance O-Ring for my Oil Filler Cap. I'm tired of this OEM one not performing.

Hey Josh, might want to check the o-ring groove in the cap,, check for debris or damage,, the cap should seal with the recommended o-ring.   May be cracked.

Oil. Just sayin.

Only change it out when it's about the consistency of oatmeal.  As long as your engine turns over,  you're good to go!   coolsmiley
