    I think I have spent more time cleaning with gasoline than any human should. Could be related to the stupid questions I ask on here. lol

    There's a very good reason I do too (use gasoline that is). It works really fucking good.

    Especially when you add a match to it!

    That’s why I ask stupid questions!

    Angles are good. Really good. Clearance is perfect.

    Yeah man... couldn't have worked any sweeter. And the connecting pipe is right in line with the headers, no weird angles to make it fit perfect, centered right on the gasket. F-ing stoked.

    Got some killer roads starting about 40 minutes away. Can ride all day, not repeating and not being on a major hiway.

    Wiping stuff off the dry erase board:

    New plugs installed
    Wired in Fiamm horn
    Soldered alternator wires, plug was a little melty
    Installed c/s cover
    New oil filter

    When I installed the inner fender I used a 94+ battery box heat shield. It extends out over the rear header connection.

    Holy shit... it sounds wicked! Wow, wasn't expecting that much of a difference.

    All that work and... pretty much looks the same.

    Here's how much of the crankcase covers I spent hours on you can see...

    Phone audio doesn't do it justice... at all. But still sounds pretty good.

    On this bike with some displacement, it sounds VERY good. Great use of this can that has been on 3 of my bikes now.

    It is a large ID can and is long, it fits this bike nicely.
