Finished it up yesterday. Hardest motorcycle related project I have ever done, BUT I am a better welder now than I was when I started, not much but better. As my son said to me "A grinder and paint makes you the welder you aint' ! " :D
Heres a short video of the first start and some pics.

Very, very nice! Lot you have done, and going on with that bike... some time for jetting needed now....is it a monoshock rear?

Rode it today short quick ride (life gets in the way!!!) Looking forward to getting it dialed in!
Quick thought, BIG improvement from the other pipes! Need a lot more time to be specific but for now :D :D

Yep mono shock... my advice on that, DONT do it! Looks kinda cool but just so much easier to get good custom dual shocks
I got it with the mono shock spent many hours making it work for me.
