Well. Just realized I haven't said what the video is. Or rather, who the video is. It's not me, it's Jay. I rode the bike up there and rode it back home, but the only person who was filmed riding it was Jay. They wired up his helmet, and he did a running commentary while he was riding. I haven't heard it, so we'll hear it at the same time when the episode hits Youtube. Here's a picture I took from the camera car as Jay was about to pass us. At this point we were on the way to where they filmed him doing the the drive-by.

Those Lord Moonpie pipes come unassembled in "several" pieces, requiring welding and no instructions.  Not too much of a challenge for Jeff/Godffery but just letting the rest of the class know.

Wow, you guys are on top of things! The exhaust system consisted of four header pipes and four megaphones, arrived in a big, sturdy plastic bin, and were perhaps the best-packaged of all the things I bought for the bike. And they sound fabulous!

I did notice that, and it is a challenge I would willing except for such Groovy exhaust.   ;)

Kevin in South Africa (TTR400) was making replicas of these and selling them. Excellent quality and no reassembly required.

Just watched the J Leno video and loved it! Such great attention to detail! Bike and yourself came across really well in the video. Super impressive! I want one! Love the fairing!

thanks for sharing,

What a great motorcycle!  I really like the approach you took to make it a street bike.  Nice job in the video too, you presented it well.

Hi, just been looking at your Jay Leno interview, and reading about your build. Magnificent effort, I didn't quite go the whole hog as you have done, and I tried for the race bike look, but I can see we approached our projects with similar dedication.
Cheers Andy
