Otherwise, Happy Mother's Day to Mother's everywhere, and for putting up with all the 'stuff' that goes along with being a Mom!

The trim rings I have are dinged up with curb rash here and there and the center caps have faded bowties and a few dings. Any recommendation on which aftermarket center caps and trim rings to buy? I'm more interested in the quality of the parts versus being exact replicas of the originals.

I have the carb off due to some issues with fuel. Just wondering if it is advisable to replace the bonze fuel filter or is is just as easy to clean it?

Lots of opinions on this out there, but I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on an exhaust system, and not sure which way to go. There is about a $50 difference in price between the two. My understanding is that the H Pipe improves low end torque by balancing exhaust pulses, but not sure how much seat of t...
