That reminds me.  I need to pick up some more blinker fluid.  I always get the synthetic.  http://kalecoauto.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=22

Whew! good thing to have on hand for sure. Especially right after the gigantic Labor Day weekend. Everything worked overtime especially my blinkers this weekend. A lot of traffic in Watkins Glen NY: destination for car and bike lovers from around the planet. They all descend on Watkins Glen in the summer but especially Labor Day weekend. And they will descend this coming Vintage Race weekend. I better change my blinker fluid after this past weekend, for sure---sat in traffic for hours (slight exaggeration) waiting to take the turn in the center of town at the light and must have sat there for 5,000 to 6,000 blinks. Dam. That'll wreak havoc on the fluids.

...Yup.

mittico on all the North American bikes the front blinkers are also marker lights, I took a set of 1500 front lights and have them mounted on the back and they are always on as marker lights a really easy and good mod to be seen.

Great sound and cool dual pipes!
BTW, I noticed that the blinkers' lights stay always on: is that because of a specific mod or what?

Killer pipes and sounds great.  Super nice 2001.  Your factory paint theme and bike setup has to be the best look then any motorcycle ever made except mine. Lol.  Side note- I own a 2001 after seeing yours a few months ago......Love the dual pipes, Great job...

Finally got her on the road today!   This bike shifts smoother than any bike I've ever ridden. All I have left to do is install the Zambini Indian emblems and the rear fender bib.
Have to admit, I like the bagless look so far.  The leather trunk seems to hold enough "essentials".

Looks a lot like mine. Love those pipes, Where did you find it? I did the rubber mount for the exhaust as I bought mine with the pipes but the vibration was quite noticeable. Have you had it out and about yet? Is there more vibration than before? Greenbarn had a good write up about vibration on his bike if you are interested.

No, haven't had it out yet.  I'm hoping to have it done in time for Sturgis.  Both sides of the exhaust are rubber mounted so it should help.
Found the pipes on craigslist but like I said, used Samson mufflers instead (I'll be selling the new Roadhouse mufflers with baffles since I don't need them).

I'll do a followup when I get it on the road...

Thanks!
