I'd recognize M Factory West silencers anywhere. :D And those 150mm long ones will let spectators know Squirley is coming.

hey jim i assume that there is a tie between the length of silencer and its effectiveness.( longer = quieter)

very nice built, what year was it originally 69,70 or 71?

I would be replacing those pancake air filters as they don't allow for much gas flow

The bike is a 1970. I have heard two different sides of the story when it comes to K&N filters on triples...for now they are what I have so we shall see.

Moving on, I cut and glued some foam onto the seat and shaped it to my desired look then had it upholstered at a local shop. Heres some pics.

I had a request for some tail pics. Here is what it looks like...The flate plate in the back is where the tail light mounts giving a more finished and closed appearance. The under seat belly pan is not quite finished yet, still need to finish trimming then polish it out.

Thanks
