Looked at it... at 5:30 this morning as I was walking thru the garage... to get in the car... to drive to the airport... to fly to Cary, NC to work this week...

I did run down to Ray Price Harley Davidson to kill some time since I couldn't check into the hotel that early, bought a shirt.

Modified my existing exhaust bracket to create a stronger mount. Put everything back together and wired in the very last switch which of course ended up being the starter switch. Some mild stress over whether or not it would start with this being my first time diving into an efi wiring harness on my own. It was hesitant to start up after sitting for so long, but both cylinders lit off with a huge back fire and big blue afterburner like flames at 915pm (I'm sure the neighbors just love me).

Saturday I rode over to the dealer's open house and then the rest of the weekend just cruised for pleasure in the nice weather.

Took the custom out for a 20 mile blast through the burbs, then a quick stop at the bank.
