That’s as simple as it gets B. You’re gonna be there in a minute after wiring. You going to ride it in mock up before paint?

Yeah just gotta add my headlight and taillight and that's it. Think I'll have an issue without running the TSM? I don't see anything on the ICM to tell me it won't run without it. Guess I can try it and if it doesn't work re-add the TSM.

Yeah I'm going to ride it. It's my main mode of transportation during the nicer weather. Maybe I'll spray the fender, oil tank and gas tank with some primer to help protect it. Shoot, maybe I'll try my hand at rattle canning it?

I haven’t been running one for a couple of years with no issues. Got these crazy bright LEDS that I’m going to use that are only 1/4” round this time though. Still thinking about where to mount without being seen when off. Possibly upping the fender brace to 5/8 or 3/4 round stock and recess the light. Got time to play with it.

I guess I'm confused again - thought you said you are going to use a different fuel tank ?

thanks,

Wow, thanks man! Actually, I bought a set of 118's because I believe these pipes are 1.75". So I'd assume the 158's would be too big?

BTW, diging the white accents on your bike, looking good.

Looks good B. I like the lines you’ve got. You’re going to like riding that one.
