Thanks. I actually haven't had a single non spam reply about the bike. I just re-posted it today in the local cl. I'm thinking about putting it on ebay, but I've never sold a vehicle on there. I'm not sure what all red tape is involved with that. I still have the pipes if you want them. 
Thanks for the kind and generous offer on those pipes Radam but I pride myself on thinking everything out thoroughly. There appears to be a design flaw in those pipes,in a hard rain the upward angle of the tails would fill with rain,kill the engine while in gear and send the bike spinning on the wet surface. Last thing I need to be thinking about is being lost in the rain in Juarez this coming Easter, browbeating my brain,trying to think of what would Brian Boitano do.
So,using a variation of that design but with attention to safety, I've decided I'm going to go with 4 foot turn-outs with "Keep Back" signs dangling from chains on the ends.
But again,thanks for the offer!
Mike
