Had a question on how I did the tail. Trimmed off brackets, trimmed frame, and welded on some metal (garage door opener pieces). Holes conveniently line up with holes in tail. Still need some attachment points for the front of the tail.

Thanks for the compliments guys. The bike is a stalled project. Between a hectic work schedule, buying a house, fixing the other house to sell, being married and now healing up from a crash on a different bike I just haven't had time to work on it. One day... I did lower the headlight. I had...

Slow and steady progress on the bike. I changed to a new Dyna coil, wires and caps Here is the new location of the tail Here's my mocked up seat

Tried JC. Tried looking a Ton before asking.

Any idea what mufflers these are and where I can get a set?

Also make sure your levers are adjusted correctly. I had some pain like you are describing and just rotating the levers helped stop the pain. What you are looking for is your hand to be straight with your arm as it sits on top of the lever.
