Let’s talk LED Light bars.

Been looking into putting some small LED Light bars on my Polaris front bumper for when I really need the light at night. I would like to stay under $100.00 and something easy to install. I was at Wal-Mart the other day and found some small round LED lights with a switch and all wires to connect to the battery. About pulled the trigger but wanted to see what most are doing on here.
Thanks for any replies.

How much does a 650 motor weigh?

I’m considering sending the entire motor to one of the two big site sponsors and trying to figure out what shipping would be. If I can keep total weight under #100 then it can go regular UPS. Someone suggested it might fit in a cheap cooler chest which is a great idea plus it’s already light. Any real knowledge of what the assembled motor weighs?

U joint

I needed to replace my driveshafts joint and my local napa store didn’t have 338’s in stock so I went to my local tractor trailer supply and ended up using spicer 5-170x u joints , they were only $16 each as opposed to $25 from Napa BUT they had them in stock not a two week delivery

Engine brake problems?

Hello everybody.
I have a problem, some of you may help me with.

When driving constant in like 40 or 50 km/h, it feels like the engine brake gets in and out. So the speed is not constant.

What can be the problem?

I have upgraded the clutch to a CVTec, and installed a new belt. I also instaled a new helix and spring (OEM), because the old one was worn out.

Could it be engine brake or the brakes? There are no sound of squeeking brakes, so I find it hard to belive it is the brakes.

Tanks for all answers.
