Been following your build CT; all I can say is "Daa-yum son!' Love what you did. I'd still like to see a bobber fender on the *** end though. And you know, those apes didn't look all that bad...
Props dude...

Thanx bro

I think I am gonna trailer the bike to the shop tomorrow for some wiring help. I have been stalling because the bike runs strong 98% of the time. The problem only pops up every so often and the last sveral times the bike just re-started and rode the rest of the day with no issues. I just want it right.

Thanx kiwi

I was so pissed on Friday. It was sorta sunny and warm and the roads were dry, figured what the hell, take a rip before the snow comes on saturday. Went out for a little 1/2 hour spin, good times.

I get home and I see the oil tank plug / cap / dip stick that I JUST BOUGHT is friggin gone!!!!!!!!!!!! I had lost the first one and figured it was just a random thing. I now realize that the back edge of my chaps must be somehow hooking that cap when I put my feet down at intersections and pulls it loose. The cap then falls out when riding. I drove the route of the ride hoping to see the cap in the road. No luck. I am sure it bounced into the weeds. God dam it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did take the 2 stroker for rip Sunday. It was about 45 degrees in the morning.
