Went and grabbed the oil to top off - low oil light came on yesterday. Got my Dart flyscreen installed up yesterday too. Today I'm ordering the headlight riser so I can raise the flyscreen up higher, but holy cow what a difference it already makes, even set low.

The lights are barn finds - simple bucket style I got for $15. Main light is 7.5" and the driving lights are 5". Mounted HID lamps and powder coated them black to match bike. To mount I used standard fork mounts, heated up and bent some 3/4 angle steel, bolted lights to angle, and mounted to mounts. Kinda figured it out while putting it together...

Thanks man. This thing has been a real treat to tinker with. Gonna do new Avons with a 180 on back. Should fill out the ass end a bit more and get it a bit lower…we’ll see.
I gave up on lower because I love to corner. I'm actually higher than stock. The 180 will look great.
I drive this road every week. It has more corners than the map shows.

Damn. I lost this whole season due to stupid back injury. Next year!!
My back is a wreck.
Doc recommended an inversion table. 5 minutes a day. Made a huge difference.
Having a lower back support on the Mustang seat takes all the strain off my lower back.
If you don't have one -- you gotta try it.

Sorry about your back! Don't know what happened, so if my advice is stupid, ignore it.

Wishing you a great 2022!
