    And decided seasons over! Too f***ing cold! This bike has been amazing for me. And to everyone in this forum, your advice has helped me out a lot since owning this gem.

    Decided to start ripping and tearing. I knew there were electrical issues since the safety. Above the instrument cluster, there was a ram mount, for an old school gps. Along with the old school gps plug in off a cigarette lighter that was scabbed in off a wiring harness with a red and black wire.
    This is going to be a great winter project. Any advice would be appreciated. I’m looking for performance while maintaining the vintage look .

    That looks like the lookout in Paris. And yes it was cold.

    My last ride was yesterday. A balmy 80ºF (27ºC). A beautiful Fall day. I do want it to get colder soon though. I have a brake upgrade planned, and can't start it until it's too cold to ride without my Winter gear.

    If you guys rode Harleys you could have shared the same oil stain.

    Ohio. Which makes the temperature very strange for this time of year.
