harleydan 2008-02-02	Touring » How to control exhaust fumes from my bike? I have seen a product that you put in the gas that smells like cherry. The idea is anyone behind you can smell you pass.

harleydan 2008-02-02	Touring » Fuel Tank problem Look for a product called Kreem. It has three chemicals. The first rinse is a cleaner. The second is an etcher. The third is a coating. It will seal anything in the tank from getting in the gas. Could be done in a weekend. Word of caution, don't use a fuel additive after this. No octane booster etc.
