I know you're going to polish and clear coat the copper pipe.

I think the crossover is pretty cool!

Check this out, the 1962 Suzuki 150 twin barnfind I picked up few years ago, the previous owner was literally a mad scientist at NORAD, he did this crazy thing to the engine - hard tube from the intake around the front to a valve in the middle. Don't know why he did the valve but same idea RDs use but 11 years earlier.
