Congrats! Any before pics? Mind sharing what the pipes cost after shipping?
I just checked the invoice. The pipes were $1495 and shipping was $19 via UPS

Beemerbum...you still need to get into BOTM and accept the nomination.
I am honored to accept the nomination. As someone noted, The lower photo in my original post is better. It took me a while to figure out how to reduce the size of my photo so it would fit as an attachment. I am putting together some "before" shots.

Well done BB. It looks great. Those new and clean pipes really shine.

Beautiful job, can we get more of the story?
Gotta love 4-4 on these, nothing looks or sounds as good.
When no one is looking I will stand behind mine to hear the walking sound of the four pipes at idle, it's a sonic picture!
Don't tell anyone. I started the cleaning process before it occurred to me to take pictures. Here are some before shots

Don't tell anyone. I used Rustoleum appliance epoxy paint on the frame. The degree of shine/matte looked right to me. I got the idea from this forum. The other side

I just fitted the exhausts to my K2 last week. Today the 341s cost £1028 each on DSS or €1,080 on CMS. I checked my invoice - from 2006 - to discover I paid €805 + €286 "postage" (It's a long way from the Netherlands to Zimbabwe) for the whole exhaust system - pipes, heatshields, clamps and joints.

Now that's what I call a good investment!! Chuffed or what?  ;D

Lovely bike btw, congratulations.
