    Today I finally finished my rack. I welded the bars to mount it on the bike and I think it looks good.

    I also took care of an anoying sound in my exhaust at high rpm. I sounded like a rock or something was shaking in it. I dismantled it and I found my inner tube loose in the pipe... I managed to take it off and put back the pipe on place. I am now ''straight pipe'' with a legal look. It sounds great!





    I took the videos with my cellphone so the sound ain't quite good. But still you get a good idea of the real sound.

                Hi Max,
                you could ship your bike & yourself far enough south to find reasonable riding weather.
                Or for less money you could set yourself up with a snowmobile and enjoy winter "in the wind" at home.
                My own winter "in the wind" is limited to walking behind my 5HP Teumseh powered snowblower.
                So yeah, F*** Canadian winter!

                  Like the bike, very nice. Especially like the ammo can. Does the ammo can stay put when the bike is up to speed out on the highway? Thought maybe the can would be pushed out from under the belt.? Love the look though, just wondered if it stays put when bike is at speed. I had a cooler on the back of my bike on a rack and had it strapped down very tight with just one bungie cord and the wind pushed that cooler out from under the cord. I would have lost the cooler, but I had run the cord through the handle. Again love the look of the bike, very cool, great job.

                    I was affraid to loose it so I managed to fix some strongs magnets in the bottom and it solved the problem.
