I finally got the left muffler off after lots of heating and beating. Cleaned up the left original and bolted it on, so the bike is back to both originals. I like it.
Then I realized when I went to mount the new license plate that the large ugly bracket had been removed by the previous owner. He had drilled holes in his license plate. I didn't want to do that, so I found some scrap aluminum and made a small ugly bracket. So small that it is hidden and therefore not really ugly. I put the tag on last night and went for a ride this morning. I'm loving the bike. I have a few more things to do before it is totally sorted, but it is definitely getting there.
