Cleanest horn in Illinois!
Actual K&N. A good buddy gave that to me back in the 90's when he had some K&N sponsorship for his dirt track racer. It's been on many bike key rings. Seeing as that it does have some dirt track roots, I think it's home on my Tracker.

Not to much to report. I also had ordered a small brake fluid canister for my rear brake since my stock plastic one was shot. It showed up yesterday also, so I made a small bracket for that. I will post a few pictures tonight. I'm looking forward to getting the pma installed so I can get some wiring done and get this thing fired up again.

I had a paint guy cut and buff my tank and seat pan for me after I had sprayed everything in my garage. I had some dust nibs and a few imperfections that would have drove me crazy if i would have left them. I was going to do it all myself but I dont have a buffer and to buy one was going to cost me around $175.00 plus the compound. the best part was the paint guy charged me a 6-pack of 16oz busch lite. I also put on my aftermarket rear brake resevoir and got it plumbed with a piece of 3/8 steel line that I did a little bending on.

I wonder why my bike wasnt charging? Last yr when I bought my xs The p.o. had it on the charger(should have been a sign) he said it belonged to his son inlaw and it had sat outside for many years. Well I can see what sitting outside does, I took out the brushes and cleaned them up and then cleaned up what I could. By the looks of things I dont think my cleaning did any good I was probably still running off the battrey. Time for some goodness from hughs.
