Well,

I got back from retrieving my son from college. The new BFG ATKOs
acquitted themselves nicely. They were a little low in pressure as
installed, but inflating them to 40 front, 45 rear with a full load
seemed to do the trick. Fender clearance is a little close, but no
contact was made.

However, I had my first "adventure" in a long time, paricularly since
the I4 conversion. My right side muffler bracket  broke, causing the
muffler to drag. Some quick thinking, making use of the E, A, and D
strings on my son's guitar (Thank you, Taylor guitar!!) got the muffler
tied up until we could locate a hardware store and buy some large hose
clamps to support it.

So, this is the moment I've been dreading: I need a replacement bracket
for the muffler. Given Overland's history of fine customer service, I'm
doubtful that they will be of any help. Is there an appropriate part out
there, or am I going to have to start fabricating parts for this? Given
that the bracket broke, I'm sure that other parts of the exhaust system
will soon follow.

Any help, advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

TIA,

Paolo
