Hi.
Just want to chime in on the exhaust debate. There is a fourth and cheaper option. Use the stock headers, which are 2,5" outlet, and buy the cycle x race slip on only. I've done it myself, came out good!

That would actually be an option but I got rid of the Mac headers that came on the bike. They were rusty and bent. Do you have a picture of your exhaust? I would like to see that slip on installed on a bike!

(Hope the pics are showing up. I'll find out in a minute, and see if I need to put them in as attachemts...)

I'm planning on wrapping the headers...

Right.
Second try:

Sorry. They came in sideways

You're dealing with an amateur here...

Henrik Vik · « **Reply #204 on:** February 10, 2011, 11:13:15 AM »

Last try. I'll go and hang out in some forum for dummies if it doesn't work

That looks schweeet. Looking for a slip on for my 4 into 1 header as well.

Thanks Pete, keep an eye on the thread because there are going to be some engine parts getting installed in a few weeks.

Like the exhaust, you have a very nice project there.

Doctor_D · « **Reply #210 on:** February 13, 2011, 04:32:39 PM »

Very nice job.

Where'd you get your oil lines made up?

tweakin · « **Reply #211 on:** February 13, 2011, 04:44:33 PM »

David, I think he got them done at Williams oil and filter in Tacoma, across the bridge from Destination Harley. They turned out great, I am thinking about having them make me a set also.

Thanks Tige, that's a big help.

Sadly, none of the industrial folks in Sodo will go near them, and I need to have loooong ones made up to run to the oil-cooler (CR style routing) before we'll be able to fire her up again.

brandEn · « **Reply #213 on:** February 14, 2011, 09:08:29 AM »

Yup, Williams oil filter in Tacoma. They were around 40 or 50 bucks. They did them while I waited and took about 15 minutes. They were a real pain to install but they look killer.

looking GREAT!! loving the lines! did you just take your old lines in and have them make the new ones? or did you have to get some new fittings??

What I did was grind the fittings off the old hoses and then brought the fittings with the old hoses to Williams so they could use them as a size reference. Make sure you know how the fittings are supposed to be orientated so you can tell them. Also make sure you let them know they are metric. They have a fixed price on the hose and fittings but charge on how long it takes them to make. They charged me $38.54 out the door!

when my jardines are shot, i'll head to these guys for (2) 2 into 1 collectors + transition cones to go on my 350F headers.

Sneak peek of my new seat. Ginger at New Church Moto out of Portland Oregon is making it for me. She has been great to deal with. I will be picking it up tomorrow. More pics to come. I had her install a gel insert for maximum comfort.

Very nice... now I know who to take my seat to for upholstery.

Seat looks tits..

Thanks everyone. I picked up the seat today and am more than pleased with the final product. I am out of town but will post pics when I get back home.

brandEn · « **Reply #224 on:** March 04, 2011, 12:52:25 PM »

Finally got around to taking some pictures of my seat. Its pretty comfortable but a couple hours in the saddle will be the real test. I also got mt regulator/rectifier mounted and plugged in. I mounted a PIAA horn on the front of my battery tray as well. Wiring is almost done. Just need to run the wires for my horn, install the neutral light, pour the electrolyte in the battery, and get the coils installed.

The head and cylinders are getting wrapped up at Cycle X and I should be getting the top end of the engine back together within the next couple weeks. Then PAINT!
