Hey RaCinJason399 where did you get those rims, they look like stockers so I am wondering if you bought them somewhere or if you did it yourself. Either way they look pretty sweet.

What is the jacket on the cooling head of the engine? Blocking the air flow over the fins of the cooling head does not help it function properly. Is this your winter running rig?
 
Yep. I was having a hard time keeping he 21 RG warm. I don't like to be below 180. By doing this, it added about 20 degrees. I take it off when it's above 35-40 out.
