I just realized that in 98 they where still making xjs and comanches where only 13 years old at the oldest. reminds me of the people who are into fj cruisers now.
well I finally got around to ordering sockets tonight. The headlight harness in @Pete M sig was out of stock or else I would of gotten one of those. Buy once cry once.
2 ideas come to mind.
1. to clear some bit of "frame"
2. Idk if this is just with 2 strokes but like a little bit of exhaust flow back helps with balance or something.
