Hey Kliff, nice write-up. Hope you get all the kinks worked out soon and can enjoy that thing.

I noted your issue with the fuse and this is kind of ironic. Papa Rich just had that exact same problem. He showed me the fuse that looked perfect at the Bash, but it wasn't good. I had a similar problem in my camper last year. 12v radio would light up, but when you pushed the power button, nothing. Fuse looked good, but after I messed with it the silver cap pulled right off.

Regarding the rear skid plate with the louvers, I believe that is supposed to point forward to draw in air while moving and assist with cooling the motor. Those fins/louvers break off pretty easily and most run without it. After breaking a few off, I riveted on some mud flap material about the same size.

Anyway, keep us posted.
