Ha, nice duck!  Bike's nice too.  Yeah, my dealer was just saying yesterday how much he liked my Tricolore but that the emissions canister was making him nauseous.  It goes in for its 600 mi. service in the next day or so and I'll have 'em remove it then.  Much cleaner.

The Spring looks even better now. I'm thinking of painting it red. What color would be best?

Had to move my Crankcase breather filter to the outside. Only place I could think of to hang it. I think it looks good there though. wt:

Looks good!  Where did you put the coil?

What about black for the spring?

Is there any trick to hiding the wiring after removing the side panels? Thanks.

I removed the Crankcase oil reservior several months ago and put a piece of sheet metal under the seat. I mounted the voltage regulator to the under side of the sheet metal (Thats why I still have the rear hugger on). So there is plenty of room on the top side for crap like wiring and the coil, I also have the resistors for my integrated turns mounted to the metal.

That's a good idea to get some fresh air across the regulator heat sink.

I have mine suspended from heavy duty zip ties on the frame.  Someday I'll make a plate like that though!
