Well we went for a little 4 or 5 mile illegal tag spin this afternoon and I must say the bike runs extremely well.  I had this old set of Mac 4 into 4 pipes left over and decided to give them a shot, damn what a great sound.  I am going to have to monitor the jetting, currently up two sizes on the main with the stock air box, will have to do some plug checking. I have also ordered some baffles, that I will have to modify for fitment.  I am not finished, still need to detail the front end, change fork oil and check the seals.  I also have to order a rear stoplight switch and so some more small things here and there, but the end is in sight.  I will probably ride it over to a monthly vintage/European bike get together Sunday after next if I get everything finished and stick a for sale sign on it. It would be nice to find a buyer without the hassle of selling on FB or Craig's.

Good looking bike!
I had thoughts about similar pipes sold as Drag pipes.
Over 40 years ago....

I had heard some choppered CB750's years earlier that really impressed me.

i like the highway pegs, any further up and you may as well use the indicators

i have a short inseam and thats where i have to keep mine for a comfy ride, my feet otherwise would battle with the motor casings then my feet are just out too wide and creating too much drag.
