I installed a nice set of gauges today that I got from member bwill166. Also installed an aftermarket fuel gauge. I added a topic in the Tech section about it.

FedEx brought me some eBay mufflers today. I cut up some mandrel bent pipe and welded up some exhaust pipes and welded them to the factory headers. I then painted them with some VHT header paint.

Re: Started a new project. 1976 basket case
I spent this morning making some better brackets to hang the mufflers. I didn’t like the straight straps that came with the mufflers and the only attachment point was the rear foot peg bracket. After fabbing the brackets I added a tab to each side of the frame for another attachment point.

Since I had moved the ignition switch from its original location to below the shelter I had this empty hole staring at me where the ignition switch used to be. I found this mini digital volt meter on eBay and with very little modification it fit right on the old switch hole. Now I can constantly monitor the charging voltage.

I also replaced the shelter lock with a quick release push button latch.

Re: Started a new project. 1976 basket case
I received my CB900 fender and installed it. Like the looks of it. Just don't like the extra hole for the speedo cable guide. My painter came over and did some cutting and buffing on the red parts. Now to get the carb problem ironed out. Something to do this winter. It finally got cold here in Texas. 33 this AM.

This bike went to a new home today. Since this is the 4th naked wing I have done in a year, I think I'll retire for a while....unless another good deal comes along.
