Yes, hops. I'm a home brewer and I started growing my own hops this year. They did surprisingly well for first year plants.

Are the Emgo megaphones the STOOPID loud ones?

No, these have a glass pack in them and a perforated diffuser plate so should lower the noise a bit....but the baffles are removable so they could be very loud.

Ok so that didn't work. Turns out my dad's bike which is an 85 has different mufflers and the pipes come out of the collector at a weird angle which is then corrected by the opposite weird angle in the mufflers to make them straight. Also, the stub of pipe is somewhere between 1-1/4 and 1-1/2 so the supplied reducer shims wouldn't work and we had to make one out of beer cans. Looks like fucking shit. Sounded amazing tho, and we only put one on, the other side still had stock muffler.

Replaced the entire wiring harness this morning. What a fucking nightmare. Discovered that the Air box is broken beyond repair in the process so it's back to eBay I go...

It's the type that has the plugs on short leads, rather than attached to the body.  It's a bit more flexible for different applications.  This type:

Can you shoot me pics of the plugs on this and maybe get a measurement between the mounting holes?

Ok, wiring harness is on, new air box is on, new starter relay is on. Bike starts right up now. Just need to replace rectifier and stator plug and the heavy lifting will be done.
