Fishtail pipes...

Today I went for what they call here in Switzerland "Expertise". Basic mechanical check-up for bikes and cars older than 4 years and needs to be repeated each second year. Now my plan was to get a "veteran" license or "Plaque Collection". Like this I have to do the testing only once each 6 years.

My bike passed the test, although he was complaining a bit about my breaks. I told the mechanic that "breaking" with a Harley is called "anticipating". The veteran status I didn't get because my breaklines are not the original ones. I have the stainless steel version which is optional and therefore not original. Duh.....

Having it all tested it was not the time to put on the "fishtail" pipes, as the orgininal pipes are too quiet for me. (probably not for the neighbourhood).

As my table is not yet installed in my garage, I have used the "minilift" and I must say this one of the best pieces of equipment I ever bought.

So one side is done, and this was also the most difficult one, as the pipes touches the rear fall bar. The other side allows a bit more space...

And done...
