So, let's back up a few days. It was our daughters bday last week and the wife ordered her a Coach[?] bag, so shes been checking for a box every day after school, but shes been disappointed 'cause most every day I get boxes of MC parts!
Well, Friday afternoon, she sends me a text stating there's a huge box at the door, she can hardly drag it in! That's no Coach bag!
So I cut outta work early knowing what the box is...

And I open it very carefully....

The pics don't do it justice, the chrome is absolutely stunning.
So these are made by Doremi in Japan, supposedly by using the same tooling as the original.
Anyone familiar with this company?
I started to pull the old exhaust and stopped. I want to thoroughly clean the lower engine case with Gunk Engine Cleaner before I put the new pipes on, but dont want to risk getting anything in the head, so I thought it best to do with the old pipes on.
Rained all day today, very rare, and had to deal with an emergency at work, so did not have a chance to work on it today. No rush, want to do it right...
