Today I spent the better part of an afternoon trying to diagnose where the parasitic drain on my bike is (I've got it nailed down to the battery/charging system). But in the last week, I've mounted a motohorn and Powervision on the scoot.

Since those were recently added, I'd be looking at them first! Did you install a relay with the motohorn? Maybe that could do it? I would also be checking and verifying the connections to the Powervision, too. If you didn't have this issue before installing those, it's likely one of them that's causing your problem.

The footpad and brace is all one piece it mounts to the muffler brackets using the exhaust system hardware, i don't think a stock style setup could be made to work in this case. The pipe is awesome though and sounds/performs/looks amazing! To be honest the S&S pad is fine, it looks great and a passenger would be fine using the pad and a stock setup on the other side, it's not that drastic.

Swapped out my faded stock levers for some chrome






shorty ones and ditched the license plate sized mirrors for some smaller round ones.

Thank you for your advice, I'm going to replace my V&H high output with S&S pipe. Even with the 13.5" Ohlins, I'm scraping my pipe. Need more upswept pipe for ground clearances.

Do you mind if I ask where you got it, and how much the visor was?

Finally took it for a shakedown ride after removing my primary to swap outer primary covers and snapping my compensator bolt.

Good times.
