That is sweet!  You'd hardly believe that the before picture is of the same bike.

It is good to see another one live again instead of broken up.  Nice work.

Original pipes were wasted away with rust,or they would be on the bike. :(

Siter81-  the bike looks great 8). I viewed the before and after pics, and I can tell you put a lot of elbow grease...and a few dollars.... into the restoration.  The pipes look fine, too IMHO.   
It was nice to see the pic at Kahuna's.  Is that a place on Gandy Blvd?  I used to live in St. Pete, and later Palm Harbor. I didn't have the Honda when I lived there, but I don't recall ever seeing one around in your area...just crotch rockets and Harleys.
Don't use a big word where a diminutive one will suffice.
