Not sure about Dumont... but they are checking spark arrestors VERY AGGRESSIVLY here in my neck of california... just a FYI...
Interesting rub mark.... since the kick stand is supposed to tuck BEHIND the number plate... not infront of it... Somthing isnt right..

I only ride at Sand MTN NV, so I ordered the 304 silencer. The bike is kinda a side project, I have a turbo Raptor and a TRX450R that I take to the dunes. This bike probably will only get ridden once or twice a trip. I can't ride all three at the same time lol. Don't get me wrong, I started on bikes and always wanted a K5, so we'll see what happens, maybe I'll go back to my roots.
I agree the stand is funky, I'll check it out this weekend....He might have just left it in the front for some reason.

Thanks and I'm surprised someone or some company hasn't made something dedicated for this purpose with replaceable delrin blocks or something and in the weapon industry someone is always trying to make some useless gadget for the fish to buy and the AR guys will buy anything and everything lol but this would actually be something useful so just a little surprised someone hasn't come up with a slick unit like BRP perhaps.

I did that last trip out... because I had issues with my stainless one (I was an idiot and put it on backwards so the chain caught the edge and pulled it off)...
It was eaten half way through within 2gal of fuel... (the rubber heater hose)

That's why I fabbed mine out of Teflon. I also put a small chamfer so the chain easily rubs past the teflon with no issues. Like I said, I have a bunch of them if you want one pm me your address..
