Fixed one of my problems to every time i wanted to put my sissy bar I would have to hold a wrench just rite between the tire and fender to get the nuts loose . I bolted up the rear fender with the bag brackets and tightened everything down then welded a piece of 3/16 rod across all 3 bolts . Now no more wrench is needed on the inside .

Made a nice extension for my oil gauge with a nice chrome bracket then found it was rite below my exh. Back to drawing board ended up cuting the 4" piece of pipe down to 1 1/2" and rethreading the end ' it now sits inside the exh.

Here's the final setup no pic with exh on .

Got the exh. all set up just had to grind a little off the tie plate for 1 tranny bolt to clear.

Made it to the builders today and got it fired up did 3 heat cycles and then checked the fuel mixture for a 500 mi. break in . Just pulling the bike back in the trailer and back into my garage I can definitely feel the difference already idle is almost as smooth as a twinkie .

HB that's a hell of a build you've got going there. And to think this all started from oil consumption. Motor sounds really good.
