Cool down those politicians! I think they could use some motorcycle therapy!

Rode to work today, with a high of 50. Tomorrow looks even better, around 58 in Denver. I'm super excited for the Colorado Motorcycle Expo next Saturday and Sunday. It's currently forcast for 64! What happened to winteR?

The material is .325" it was some scrap from a past job I had. I'm not sure why they used that size. The copper flanges are 1/4 (.250") and the alternator bracket I made was out of 3/8 (.375"). It's just some oddball stuff. I don't have much faith in the groves I cut for the o-rings sealing...

Tomorrow? Ha, who was I trying to kid? Well, the next day I did cut them apart and got one shaped. I got a fair bit of work done. I cut the runners and found some 1in vinyl tubing to bridge the gap. I'm not expecting it to last against the fuel but I like the clear. I pulled the doughnuts...

Wow, October... slow progress... I've been doing some work trying to improve a bit. I've pulled the elbows off of the runners so I can add proper clamps like Canukxxxx did. I taped some 100 grit paper to a piece of aluminum plate and started on the top of my manifold. I didn't know I was this...

Happy new year everyone! It's been a while since I posted, you know how the holidays can be! Back in November, my wife and I celebrated our 10th anniversary. While we were out, Mrs. Bug let me pick up this shiny new (to me) toy. She's a 2007 Harley Davidson Dyna Low Rider. Sheesh! That's a...
