the only 2 stroke i have is my lawn boy. i think it could out run most new ones but most people are to lazy to mix 50:1. i have been cutting grass with it for at least 12+ years. i have no clue how long my grand parents had it but i was surprised it still runs as good as it does with some of the stuff i have cut down with it.

i installed some led's in my overhead console today

Here are pictures of my lights behind the grille. Keep in mind 1 doesn't work anymore. Gotta shop for replacements.

Light by itself:



Light with regular lows:



It adds a fair amount of light even through the grille insert. They're only 50w, might shop for 100w.

Sweet! It would be easier to see the strobe in your cab lights with a night video though.

I run 40:1 on my bike.
Longevity depends on the quality of the piston, connecting rod, bearings and the cylinder casting. Some manufacturers make the castings too thin, so they crack.

Nice LEDs, where from? Hardwired or drop in?

Go for 100 if you already have the harness set up for it. I overbuilt mine so I could run 100's. Which is what I have now.
Huge difference.

WOW! That's a great price.

I'm in my mid 40s, have not had a ticket since 1994, no claim since I was a teenager and shop my Geico quote against other companies every year when it comes due and pay $1070 a year for only two vehicles (full coverage, $500 deductable).

They have NEVER lowered my price, but seem to raise it (if even by just a couple of bucks) every year...

I think it has to do with the fact that the nearest freeway is 50 miles away and the only 2 accidents I had in the last 15 years was caused by the other drivers and they were ticketed.
