Haven't had much time today to work on mine other than clean the turn signal relay contacts. Over the weekend, however, I put on a H-D muffler (for a FXS 1450). It really sounds nice. I also put on the rear exhaust shield. I replaced the mismatched (color-wise) green rear fender with a black one to match the tank and the front fender, and while I had the wheel off, I attached the right passenger peg, which was in the pile of parts I got when I picked up the bike, but not installed. I also checked the decomp solenoid and it checked good, then the decomp controller and it checked bad. Found one on ebay and it shipped today. Now I can hook that back up porperly insteading of bypassing it like the PO did. I also replaced burnt bulbs with new ones and checked the neutral switch which checked out good, but the wire from which was just hanging under the bike frame. Fixed the front brake switch but then had to do some wiring checks to find out why it is still not working (I still don't know). Finally, I took the two side covers to my shop and spray painted them black.

Getting closer every day to having a rider.

Cheers,

Mike

Here's Pic of the muffler on the bike. I had removed the tank for some wiring work. Ths muffler has great tone and once one the backfiring all but stopped.

And here's a Closeup of where it attaches to the rear muffler bracket.

Here's the bike as it was when I picked it up for free in Alabama. You can see the mix and match of colored fenders and the spare parts that came with it.

Cheers,

Mike
