I started out with the harley kit too, but I didn't like the 'plastic'
look, so I had it covered. Here's pics (modified cover for the pogo seat)
before I switched to a true flat cover/relocated ECM...











hth,

Also finished up installing a new Air Cleaner and Stealth Breather system from DK Custom. Great company and really good customer service. Bike is running awesome, think it really likes not injesting the oil and hot air it was trying to puke out.

Decided to put the filter for the breather system in the front for now, had it on the swing arm and didn't like the look. I'll probably switch to a catch can eventually. Sorry the bike is dirty, but they get that way when you use them.

Looks good. I've got the same one. Ran mine under the bike. Might re-route it later.

Beautiful day to ride in North Mississippi. Mary and I went for a 3 hour putt, staying mostly on country roads.

Pic of Mary in the mirror, plus some kudzu!






Mary likes cloud pics-







A look back over her shoulder-

Very cool work you've done!
