You don't use stainless welding aluminum. It's aluminum with aluminum. When welding stainless tubing. You HAVE to purge the inside of the tubing with argon gas. Otherwise the weld on the inside will sugar and product a bad weld.

Remember that tires like the R888's, and Cup 2's don't do well in the rain. ;) You have to back your speed way down.

We had a torrential downpour in the mountains in virginia or wherever on the way to zdayz. The back end felt like it was just floating on top of a raging river. 35 mph with flashers on going down hill, that was butt puckering.

Especially when they are on the wear bars. LOL You don't get money back for extra rubber left on the tires.

If the R888r's will do as good as RE11's in the rain I won't complain at all. They are not going to last as long but oh well. That is what I am going to get. I have made up my mind, R888r's it is.
