Hey, that muffler in the chair... how come its blue "Riiight There"? Why was that one band so much hotter? Do you keep it W/O a front fender for the bobber look or for weight?
Kinda surprised theres no fork brace on that one..
The header w/ welded on HD muffler on the chair came from the parts bike, and as yet have not had any time to mess with it, so can't say about the exhaust coloring other than there was a hot spot at some time. Was it from the engine or from the welding process ???????????????
I had to finally break down and buy a new battery for
REX. It seems that after a full 24 hrs on the charger at Advance Auto the old battery showed 12.5 v but only 2 A....should have been 13.5 v and 200 A. Just a weeeeeeeeeeee bit short on cranking power. The new one should be here today or tomorrow.
I am at my sons place for the next couple of days as Beverly has some Dr app's for 2 days and this cuts our commute in half; besides, we get to play with the grandkids.
Oh, new battery at Advance auto was $92 for gel type, no maint. On ebay, very same batter was $53, incl shp. Replacing the dry cell Odyssey I had before was going to be $135-140, incl shp. I really loved that Odyssey but bucks were too short to get it right now. May get one later and put the gel on the parts bike after it is resurrected. That could take....................who knows ? I'm so freaking slow getting stuff done it even drives me nuts.
Hey Slavy, wanna come back and help finish the sheet rock in the kitchen with me ? Then the new counter top, then the paint, then floor, the refinish cabinets; etc, etc, etc.
