I had to differentiate my old helmet from my new Shoei so I striped it
Now I'm that guy with a matchy helmet

It turned out to be nice so I dragged all the bikes out of the garage and washed them, took them for a ride, filled them up and put stabilizer in them.
The primer '78's battery went south so I had to switch batteries around. This after just replacing the 1100's battery. I shouldn't complain as these were the batteries that came with the bikes; I'm lucky they lasted this long, I guess.

I wanted to go to Welland to see if John Bennett can help me figure out my idle problems on my primer '78 so  I recruited some pals ; Steve, Gary, Kirk and Marv and we made a day of it

There were many bikes in Port Dover even though it wasn't Friday the 13th

Rick, Steve and I are waiting in Oakland for Gary and then on to Port Dover
The weather was great because this was in August
I'm a little tardy in posting this

Here is another pic with the new seat

I put some satin black on the tail
Ultimately, it will get gloss black and stripes to match the bike

From the bottom you can see where the tail sits on the frame and the tongue at the front

The turn signals are bolted on to the shock mounts and plugged into my harness which is plugged into the bike's harness
With the 5 into 4 module, the turn signals will also be running and brake lights

The turn signals are attached to the brackets

These are the brackets I made to mount the turn signals to the shock mounts
The stalks have been cut off of the original mounts and welded to these plates
Where the wires will go through the plate a grommet is placed
