your bike is awesome.  Where exactly did you get that muffler?  It looks like one of Tsukigi's newest one.  I like it.  I would like to have the same one on the one Im building instead of the Kerker.

Hey thanks buddy! It was actually a chinese muffler I bought from ebay. We welded it on to see how it looks and I really liked it so I will probably be making a full exhaust soon to sell...

Thanks again for the kind words.

here are some more with the exhaust now fitted.

This is the main reason I'm not happy with the seat  :'( Fitment is very poor and the hardware looks like
something my little nephews made.

Hey everyone!!!

I was able to get a few more things done this weekend and only a few more to do before we get to play!!!

Installed a set of Carpy's stainless oil lines, not the best pic...




Finished my tag holder and rear light set up. the outside three LEDs are turn signals and the inner LEDs are
brake and run lights  ;D easy removal for track days...


Got the top triple tree back from the machinist.




First stage of paint stripping


Recoated the header pipes with ceramic paint.

Looks nice!

Is that seat a BCR seat?  I'd have to talk to Benji about that.....that is unacceptable to me......I'm pretty forgiving and work around most things, but that is going to require pie cutting the shell to straighten out and paint the seat pan area black to hide the cut and patch..... >:(

That would be a great idea if it were not made of Carbon Fiber!!!
Benji gave me a great deal on this seat and the frame loop so I
wont complain to much, but I would not have paid even the discounted
price if I had the choice again. and its a temporary piece anywho :D

Man, I really like that exhaust. How does it sound? Can you upload a sound clip?

Care to tell us where you bought that end piece for it? I'd love to weld one of those on mine if/when I eventually start building it up.

No sound clip? I'm on the edge of my seat here! I'd still love to know where one would obtain that exhaust tip.

Sorry man my internet connection is to slow to download a sound clip although I did make one :(
My shop made the exhaust and we're in the process of building an entire header with this style of exit.
I will try again to download the start up vid.

Got Her out on the first long distance test ride today and
it went flawlessly! Never felt better! Very good power but
I think with a good re-jetting and tuning she could be
POTENT! I will definitely be needing to do something about
the brakes. I will be putting together an upgraded front end
kit and some very nice brakes to go along with it.

I also went ahead and built a new gauge holder and
removed the factory dummy light cluster.
