Nice exhaust! I like slip-ons. What brand and model muffler is that and is it USFS Approved?

Very nicely done! Will you be posting a video soon with the new slip-on muffler? Will you be offering the muffler for sale?

X2; hooking the hot lead to the starter solenoid is a great idea.

" Blow out spark plug hole with compressed air" Spud, just wanted to say that this tip of yours is an absolute "must" and to add , make a really good visual inspection afterwards to make sure its all clear. A while back when doing my plug, I had a couple bits of gravel jamed low down between the plug and the plug recess. you can guess where they were going to go if i hadn't spotted them prior to removing the plug. |

It's 1/4", but it is just what I had on hand; I only needed to drill and countersink it.
3/16" is thick enough. 1/8' would work unless you mount the bike by stepping on the footpeg.

Dan, thanks for that link to your write-up. It seems we are of a like mind with this 'letric stuff. After reading your account I'm still not sure where you got the switched power for your relay. Normally I'd go for something like the tail light. I just have not dug that deeply into the wiring harness yet. BTW, under that plastic tray and near the back of the cavity there is a blanked off electrical connector. This sucker looks like it has 8 or 10 leads going into one side, nothing on the other side. Any idea what this is for? It might be just what I need for switched power.

The green oval is a fuse holder. The small black wire coming to the bottom is a switched +12V. I used this for the relay signal. I used a small Posi-Tap PTA2022

I'd like to try the Posi-tap connectors sometime. Where does one get the best price for this product, including delivery costs?

However, you can buy direct, and now the smaller packages are "free freight items". http://www.posi-products.com/shoponline.cfm

Thank you. The 'free freight items' are a great option for me to try the Posi-tap connectors.
