Shimming rims to clear toe rods

Well I found a deal on some used kenda executioner tires and renegade rims so I went and picked them up yesterday. What me and the seller didnt realize is they were 26x10x12 on the fronts. Of course you all know what happened when I went to put them on. Just wonder how far you guys have gone shimming the rims out using washers. I put 4 on each stud and it will clear then. That only leaves about 1/4" of thread though. Washers stacked were about 5/16".

Wiring help

Alright I’m in the middle of building a stereo for a friends bike(broke force). My thought was I could just us the 12 volt accessory plug on the bike for power. But that’s where I’m having issues. I wire it all up and no power. I plug in my spot light in and it works perfectly. Clearly I’m missing something, anyone have some insight.

HMF vs Straightline vs Muzzy

Just what the tittle says. I know Muzzy is out of business but you can still get old stock. I would like Muzzy but I have read several threads were people have complained that there Muzzy fell apart or when it got wet it sounded terrible.

I am looking for the most reliable and quietest of the bunch. I will be using a PC5 for my fuel controler.

Also any thoughts on the best sounding of the 3.

Thanks to all that give there opinion.

Oh yea pipe will be a slip on. And it is going on a 2016 XT-P 1000r standard frame.

2006 400ex valve adjustment went wrong

hi all. I had a 2006 honda trx 400ex that had 115 psi compression before I went to adjust the valves. I could not stick the .004 feeler gauge in both sides so I adjusted both to where the feeler gauge had a little pull. Went to crank and 0 psi! Yes the engine was TDC

So I played with it adjusting them a little at a time and could not get over 0 psi.I removed the valve cover to make sure timing was good and its spot on. Did a compression test without the valve cover on and got 50. Put the valve cover on and now its 0 again..

This is not my first valve adjustment on a quad but this one has me questioning my ability to fix these lol. Any help would be great.
