Great looking ride. I like what you did with it. I like your swingarm bag. Which one is it and price if you don't mind. Thanks!

It may just be a coincidence - try wiggling the rear bulb while you have the right turn on, it may just be a bad connection on the bulb pins.

Be sure you insulated the clipped wires well, and they are not shorting to each other. if you stuffed the clipped wires back into the handlebar control housing, you could accidentally have some of the cut wire end sticking through and touching metal. I use heat shrink over my cut wire ends always.

If wiggling the bulb does not do it- pull the bulb and use a 12v tester to see if you are getting hot on the turn pin inside the socket. if so then it could just be a bad bulb. not the first time odd coincidences happen, especially with electrical. if you don't have a tester pull your left bulb and put it in the right socket cuz you know that bulb works.

Yeh they make one but I'm presently happy with the stock rear. it's also easier to keep clean. maybe later during my next attack of"upgrade-itis"

Thanks for the info!

I found another of the skull solo bag on ebay, but damn it's a bit on the pricey side - UK seller. although it is pretty good quality- the leather is thick and the design is well done. good stitching, good buckle, good fitment and it has two slim pockets inside for reg papers.

I would recommend using heavy duty zip ties to mount it to swingarm instead of the leather straps- much tighter mount that way. what I did was slide the leather straps over the zip ties to cover them up so it looks nicer. if you get one you'll know what I mean- use zip ties through the back loops to attach to swingarm, then slide the included leather straps through the loops over the zip ties as a cover to hide zip ties.

Careful, them zip ties might chew up the swim arm. Put some of that clear 3m tape on the swing arm before you put the zip ties on.

good point indeed- I actually have a roll of the good Venture Shield stuff so I'll cut some bands.

Still haven't gotten mine installed yet, but wanted to share a sound clip that someone just posted. It's the F-Bomb on an 883. It gives a really good cross-section of sound. I have to say, after hearing that clip, I'm more excited then ever to get this set installed. They sound amazing to me. Nice deep mean growl without being obnoxious.

Actually, I'm looking forward to seeing how this pipe works out for you guys. It's one of the few 2-into-1's that "look right".
