Not a hundred percent sure yet...got a couple friends locally I'm going to offer it up to first...it's in great shape though, small nick on the muffler/endcap from when it fell over in my driveway (stupid drunk me...super small though you have to be close to it to even notice)

I had this one (ignore the text in the link, will take you to the one I actually have):

http://www.bassanipipes.com/chromelo...-13111j-1.aspx

It's a great quality exhaust, looks great on the bike and a lot of people seem to like the sound, I'm just not a huge fan of the tone...I like a bit of a deeper, bass-ier tone, if that's even a word...the biggest thing I dislike about the sound of the bassani is the decel sound. Hard to describe but if I had to put it into words, I'd say it sounds like someone threw some marbles in the muffler and was shaking it...I'd check out videos on youtube before making a choice, or hear them in person if possible...

Installed this Throttle lock (poor man's cruise control). Took a test ride - I really like this. Simple but does the job.

Default New Apes!

Put on some Wild1 Chubby Outlawz 14" Apes the other day. It is quite a change from the stock bars, but in a good way. The bike handles so much differently and is definitely more comfortable.

The change required new cables and I had to extend my wiring - took me about 6-7 hours as this was my first venture in tackling such a task. For those of you that are wondering if this is tough or hard to do, it isn't that bad. Just take your time and read your service manual. It is a great way to get to know your bike!

I did have a hell of a time with the internal wiring, only because I had bought the bars used and the when the previous owner pulled the wiring out, the shrink wrap/plastic wiring cover was still inside the bars! I was attempting to fish a string and then a wire through so I could pull my wires through and felt something in it. Grabbed a flash light and saw the mess inside. Made a "fish hook" (for the lack of a better term) with some copper wire and I was able to fish out the old.

Finished my basement mortar work yesterday and realized I will need to adjust my belt when I do the primary and pulley swap next weekend so ordered the belt tension tool and a 28 mm socket to adjust the belt when done.

Started my list of fall/winter projects.

Here is the starting point:




Here is the beginning of the tear Down:






Old suspension GONE!




Comparison of HD “Premium” suspension and the new ODC Monza EXTREMELY premium inverted front suspension! I’m really digging the blacked out DLC coating on the tubes:




Got it installed. That’s it for tonight. A whole lot more to come!

RBDUB474, like the front end, and I see you have the three most important repair/replace items at your beck n call, WD40, hammer, and duct tape. The install will be a success, I'm sure. tp

Ordered a new Battery Tender; I guess all the years of continuous use finally took their toll. Plugged it in to the pigtail on the bike last night after a COLD day ride and nope, she's dead. Luckily I had a spare Tender but I don't need much of an excuse to order stuff for my ride eBay to the rescue!

An update on the CANbus decoder harness I sourced out to correct my LED headlight low beam out diagnostic light issue: it worked perfectly for a time but failed yesterday; lasted just under 1k miles.

Ah well, back to the drawing board, but desire walks on...

I think I'd be cutting open that decoder to see what makes it tick.
