Looking at another project 86 Aspy (bought)

Found the cause of the exhaust leak. The junction where the header meets the muffler was rusted out and broken. Fortunate to have another set of headers on hand from a part out bike. Not as pretty but should be good enough to stop the leak.

Nice to have a solution. Time to ride.

Interesting thing happened yesterday. Running some errands and I noticed the newly installed volt meter showing some low numbers. Kept an eye on it and headed for home. Pulled the battery cover to check connections and found one of the stator wires was very hot. While moving the stator wires the voltage would go back to normal. Decided to cut and replace all three wires again since the connection on one was obviously not making a good connection. My soldering skills have really gone downhill. Got it done and the charging system is back to working properly. I did at least get all the legal stuff done. Ordered a historical vehicle plate that has some riding restrictions but I don't figure on a lot of miles on this one.
