Looking through the Cone Engineering parts, I think I have figured out what the builder did. Appears that they took Cone's 12" Straight Core from [url=http://www.coneeng.com/pdf/motorcycle/MC-finished-Mufflers.pdf]HERE, and welded it onto a short section of the stock muffler. That allowed them to retain all of the factory screw hole, mounting tabs, etc. for the stock plastic shield.
To the left of the weld line is Cone's unit, and to the right (up to the pipe clamp) is stock Honda, just cut off short for the application. That means that to make the unit ,as they did, you need a donor pipe. If one had the fab and welding skills, you could add the appropriate tabs to the Cone part itself, still retain the stock shield, and end up with an even shorter slip on that was about the length of the shield itself. Even more cool looking!
