Grandma Wells liked it. My plans for a pipe are hollowed out cat,polish the stock header pipes then make a slip on to make it look like the Kerker header on my old 750.

That's some smooth metal work! And quite a tuck on that wheel. The newly shaped taillight housing is a good match for that fender. It goes together nicely from a visual standpoint.

I still need the reshape the radius a little towards the front and thinking about making a fiberglass extension to bring to front of the fender down about 6 inches.
