I can appreciate the amount of time and effort that may have gone into this project, but aside from having to premix, I wonder how much power is lost from the original 21hp rating with that exhaust/muffler set-up...?

The head pipes are covered with the obligatory jackhole wrap, so it must make more power than stock.

That must be a mandatory requirement to be a card carrying member of the Cafe Racers club. :o My sentiments too Jim. ;)

Ha, and it's odd that the top sport bike manufacturers, always competing for a couple more HP than their competitors, don't put wrap on the pipes of new bikes.
