Made a cover for the speedo in perforated aluminium, but I'm not sure if I like it or not.
Bike started sputtering and coughing through the carb, and throws a p0374 code (CKP out of sync). I went through the troubleshooting guide in my Clymer manual and it suggests a grounded or broken wire, but I can't find anything wrong anywhere. I'm going to try on a CKP sensor from a friends bike to see if the sensor has gone bad. I don't think so but I've read that the sensors often fail in the '04-'06 sportys, so maybe.
Also need to finish up the fender. Thinking of welding on the end pieces I chopped off further in, and modify the brackets so it sits closer to the tire.
And I need to clean up the garage... It's a classic example of entropy.
I want to do something like that, eventually, to my Slim.
Actually, I dig just about everything you've done. One idea I'll be stealing is the coil mounted ignition for my wife's 48. It has a tank lift and the ignition is located down on top of the primary. She probably doesn't care, but I think it looks better right there by the coil, like yours.

Thanks!
One thing to consider when mounting the ignition there is that the vibration might break it. I saw someone here had experienced that. I've added some thick rubber washers to prevent that hopefully.
I made the "speedo cover" a little bit smaller. Much better like this I think.
