Really looking for a trade, but I suppose I would do 40 bucks?

http://www.dimecitycycles.com/vintage-cafe-racer-caferacer-bobber-brat-chopper-custom-motorcycle-exhaust-parts-17-inch-reverse-cone-megaphone-muffler-80-84030.html Bought this and ended up going with a muffler made at a local shop. As far as trades go I'm on the lookout for a fairing for a 7"...

Sonrier/mydlyfkryzis: I have checked continuity on the alternator as well as for AC output, both came up good. Out of frustration and looking for answers I decided to hook up my old rectifier and regulator and got some interesting results. With the OEM parts, I am now overcharging (took it up...
