    My skid plate arrives tomorrow... so I go check out the situation... bend over to take a look at the frame... and I already have one... WHAT A FREEKIN IDIOT ! Then last night I spend two hours online looking for a sparky to fit the FMF... walk out to the garage to look for part numbers... and the side of the can says FOREST SERVICE APPROVED SPARK ARRESTOR. I guess I'll go put my hand guards on and quit trying to spend money. :lol:

    Spark Arrester Inspection
    Check to see if the entire exhaust system is sound and the arrester has been maintained. Also make sure that the spark arrester is mounted securely in the qualified position. In OHV use, this is usually the horizontal position. Proceed with a thorough inspection of the entire exhaust system.

    With the engine off, and using a penlight, look into the spark arrester to visually ensure that the interior has not been removed or altered. You may be able to see the interior section that deflects the exhaust. Use a narrow rod, such as a 8-in wooden dowel, to gently feel for the internal parts of the arrester. Check how far you are able to insert the wooden dowel internally and cross check this measurement with the outside of the spark arrester/muffler. This will indicate whether you are able to pass the dowel the length of the arrester/muffler. If you are able to pass the dowel the total length, it is not a qualified arrester.
    All trap spark arresters have internal fins or louvers that deflect the exhaust. If you suspect that an arrester may be altered, have the owner take the arrester apart for further inspection. Although the arrester/muffler may have the approved model number and the manufacturer information stamped on the shell, the inside components of the spark arrester mechanism may have been removed. Only through a thorough inspection can this type of modification be noted.
    Arresters can be modified to avoid routine maintenance or to give the false perception of improved engine performance. Some modifications that have been detected include complete or partial removal of the spark arrester component parts, perforation of an arrester part, and installation of foreign objects into a muffler silencer, “mocking” spark arrester parts when a wooden dowel probe is used. Examples of these foreign objects are washers, bottle caps, and steel wool.

    I'll be on Husky alert. I'm stopping every Husky I see and asking who they are on Cafe Huskey !

    I'll be on a white KTM300 2 smoker this weekend with a lot of stickers.

    OK... my final plan. Arriving early Saturday AM... probably about 7:30AM.

    Will have the truck and toyhauler... spending the night Saturday and riding Sunday AM... leaving around noon-ish.
    Flag should be up... look for 2 Foot RIDERS Logo on Trailer Tailgate.

    Bike is ready too. Added skid plate, hand guards, new grips, non-functioning headlight and blinks to look more street legal.

    Sorry... no Husky this weekend... I did stop in at B&B Cycles in Victorville... still waiting for Jim to find the perfect Husky for me !
