    @orange'n'black: that was back in 1974, when I was 20, man!
    My favorite Motorhead song was "Stay Clean" - although I did not! :)

    A little bit of an update, I have been driving this bike now as a daily driver. Every day I go to the gym "I lift things up and puts them down" I got sick of not having a place for my watter and other stuff I like to take with me so put these on the bike. Welds are holding up fine. Also have done a bit of tuning and the bikes running better.

    Saddle boxes...

    It is a walmart case. It is in the electronics area, but it was for working out. Originally it was ment to be wrapped around the arm, but I just put it around the bars and then it velcrows.

    Maybe, I know it was a Florida company not far from where I live. I believe it is from west palm.

    Ahh, mine was about $35-40. The bulb is a little anoying at the moment. The low beam is to LOW and the high beam is perfect. Maybe I just have a bad connection in my low beam switch. Or maybe thats why I paid $30 less than you lol. This one is already starting to get a little rust on it.. Supposedly it is rust protected.. lol

    Thankfully I do not minde rust.

    They work as much as any open intake will on these bikes. They get a lot of looks. Same issues with tuning as with the pods. I can control how mush air is getting to my stacks with the cans though. It gives you a little control. I can restrict airflow a little when I need to.

    Actually I found Lacing, some punches, and random Tandy Leather stuff at Michaels today after leaving a movie in Vero. I just lack some dye, I am holding off a little until I figure out my job situation. I am going absolutely insane not working. I have a couple tests tomorrow at Irsc then I am going to talk to some guys at Piper about a few openings.

    A bit blurry but stopped in at Earls hideaway last night.

    I lived in Tampa while my Girlfriend went to school there. We are back in my home town of Sebastian, a sub tropic, year round riding, old fishing village type paradise. Take 60 across the state from Tampa till you hit the beach, or hit I-95 from Jacksonville and drive about 4 hours south. Earls has this parking lot, the grass across the street, and some over flowing lots around the bar full of bikes on sun days. This pic was a day before the storm of bikes.

    Oh, and I was Early. all the rest of the bikes showed up around 10.

    New seat I have made almost done.

    [​IMG]

    Learned A lot. Need to use different lace next time, and on the brown dye I ran it onto the chekardboard pattern. The resist didn't seem to be working so I stopped. Went with a base ball stitch?? if that is correct. My next seat I will not get dye where I want it, and will do a more interesting design.

    Oh new house and garage,,, not unpacked yet.

    I love the beer cans. Some Genny Cream Ale cans would look great with the shotgun shells on the back of my bike. Its hard to see, but I think you used the champagne of beers.

    I am going to have to check Michael's on Monday. I was going to use baseball glove rawhide to redo my seat, but I'll see what they have. I think I'm going to add a little more padding too.
