    I was riding along and my bike started sputtering, and eventually died out. After examining the situation, LOTS of cursing, I found the regulator was unplugged from the ignitor. Plugged it in, a bump start and I rode home. I started fiddling with it and since my hands were already kinda dirty....

    I love/hate it when I "have an idea"....

    HMM a bit of an extreme reaction to an unplugged regulator :D

    I'm a fine one to talk - I strip mine down (not that far) fairly regularly when tinkering.

    So what is in your mind?

    Nothing too drastic this time, just a few little things that have been bugging me, and a fresh coat of paint on everything. Maybe ditch the ammo box for another idea.

    It runs great with the exhaust, no problems at all. Sounds great too. It's all back together now with a fresh coat of paint. Pics tomorrow.
