Here are a couple pics of my 16 month project. Hopefully ready to fire up soon.

I have a set of Jim's chambers I need to get chromed and redo a set of gauges.
But these will work until I get them done!

Thanks.
It is Toxic orange pearl from 2010 dodge viper.

I love the burnt orange colors! :crazy:

I had a Arctic cat ZL800 in that color and also painted my old 85 Yamaha Maxim X 700 that color.

It's great to see a 72 in gold. I have the same aftermarket turn signals on mine too.

Do the chambers you have that I made have internal stingers? If they're the ones I think they are, they do.

Nice job, MIke. I'll be waiting for your ride report. It's been a long time, but I think you said this is your first H2.

Yes I know, but when I ride Mark's with the drag bars it's not as comfortable???? :roll:

Maybe if I would lose 50# that would change? :think:

Yes the set of yours I got from Cody have internal stingers. I think your chambers chromed will make it look even more purdy! ;)

Ride report??? :thumbdown: I have to figure out a spark issue first. :banghead I have off Friday and hope to figure it out.

I like the stock bars...I can ride all day even with a bad back. I would pull the red socks off the air filters though..
