It's exhausting

I hate exhaust work
Fitment is complete

I changed the mufflers to a shorter pair....
The Honda brackets fit these Harley Mufflers perfect
The other pair of Harley Mufflers had baffles, these don't, but the other pair were too long and I would have had to make backets for them.
I hope it isn't too loud.  Cafe's are loud but I'm not a fan of straight pipes
These are not straight pipes but I can see through them... aakkk

Audio/ Video tomorrow, it's too late tonight to start it and it's 22F outside
I didn't want to let the heat out of the garage

Question is paint or not?
I'm leaning toward flat black with header wrap
Vote!

Sparky

The bike isn't running as well as I might have hoped.  Wayne "Ratman" turned me on to the Ignitec spark system... programmable and it uses solid state that eliminates the need to use the stator for the spark pulses.






Next step is to tidy up the work area.  Downside of the lift is everything ends up on top of it. Something I did not anticipate is the modification means not all the parts go back on.  I have a pile of parts clouding the issue.  Simple is better I guess.

Collar

The weather turned cooler.  I did mow the yard

Got the collar machined and the front end is on... ordered a front axle spacer

Perhaps the right caliper will fit without hitting the disk now

Heads Up

Doing the head bearings
















Top fits nicely
















Bottom not so much... it needs a little machine shop work
