Your slobber tube smokes just a little more than mine. Not sure if they’re within normal range, but every deuce I’ve seen smokes some from there. Clamping a 2 Ft or so rubber extension tube on there allows it to slobber out below the engine and axle. It’ll save you a lot of cleanup in your...

Added an antenna mount and antenna this week.
Some past work includes extra storage on the right fender. My wife contributed with the custom cover made from a shelter half.
