Jim... outdid yourself again on the pipes. :thumbup:

Jim sent me the pipes with the stingers unwelded and no hangers as they had to be fitted to the bike. I tacked them at home and were tig welded at work by one of our fabricators. they work amazing. and damn they are loud. but good. they replace the old FPP's i got from jim k wayy back. mind you the FPPs were pretty rough when i got them, so i was always battling leaking and breaking.
Pipes are mounted with rubber machine isolators at frame. Silencers are from TZmike, 150mm length bodies.

Still the best custom triple I've seen, you don't need a H2-R frame, and you can use a stock tank! Much better than those slingshot Suzuki framed things!! (J.M.H.O.) :D
