Mine is the same color scheme as yours (looks identical). As a matter of fact it was your pictures on the net that got me nervous about the 2 mufflers vs. 1

I know my helmet is DOT certified but not SNELL. Accroding to an on-line review SNELL at the time did not rate ANY flip up type helmets. Is that bad? The MSF people just said it should be at least one or the other. Interestingly enough the review said it was noisy, maybe rather than changing my muffler I should change my helmet , although it seemed to be OK when I rode the Buel Blast.

Since you have the same bike, I'd like your input on a clutch question. This bike has a weird clutch engagement, which I noticed because of the low idle. With the clutch level pulled all the way back, and then let out just a hair the gears start to engage to a point where at idle the engine will stall. However, there is not enough traction to actually move the bike. From there to just a hair before having the clutch all the way released there is little to no traction. All that occurs in the last "hair" of relase on the lever. Is this a problem, can it be adjusted....please don't say that I need a new clutch!
