Why would you switch to the cooler setting on a dual temp warmer when you're off the bike for say an hour or more as Kyle said? Sorry if it's a dumb question. you will heat bake the tires and make them rock hard

I looked at those as well - seems like good product with lots of great feedback. I wanted to get dual temps so the deal on the Woodcrafts was too good to pass up. I think the digital Krosswerx are in the mid $300's? He does not seem to be discounting them as deeply as the single temp ones. STG has some "house brand" ones apparently made by CH at a pretty good price - call Nick see if he'll get you a schnide?

I'm thinking that I might rather pay $210 for a standard set of Krosswerx and an 18 month warranty. Still looking, but that's were I'm currently leaning. As far as genny's go, a buddy of mine uses a really inexpensive 2-stroke (remember I'm a cheap SOB). I just sent him an email to get his feedback on it. http://forums.13x.com/showthread.php?t= ... +generator

Matt those Krosswerx seem to be getting good review so i wouldn't hesitate on getting a set.
Watch your sale ad's i got an el chepo from pep boys its a 2300 and i got it for 250 its no yamaha generator but its not a mac truck engine etiher.
A freind of mine has one and they have been using theirs for the past 4 years no problems. Also stick boy carries lct that are really good for the price, if you go down to cmp in november you can pick it up then and not have to pay shipping.
