yup from the later pics you can see i've never neglected them, used the cut off just for show

Cool; I hadn't seen the other pic yet. That will help a bunch! Ed

That all looks really cool, great fab skills. Only observation I have (and this is not founded on any real knowledge) is that the final exhaust pipe size seems the same as the individual ones, will that not constrict flow too much? I have a 4/1 Kerker and the final pipe is about 80% smaller x-section that the total of the other 4 pipes. That tank looks absolutely beautiful

no worries i always do what voices in my head tell me and they told me that a stock runners were 26mm and merge collectors were like that or even less, mean while mine are 33mm and 40mm, therefore they cannot be restrictive at least for a stock engine

fabbed a stainless panel covering the hole in the front part of the tank

the seats a piss of coke unlike the butt stop. made the bucks and temporary base

the mid pipes tidied up, an o2 bung and securing mount welded on

I thought the same thing, but i am a grom. Judging by your fab skills, i assume you know what you were doing. What is the formula for merge/header collection ?

paper back mock up. the stop signals gunna be levelled with the butt stop surface

reckon that the big head light unit is what the night rider needs, chromes gunna be replaced for matt black powder
any opinions? is it fugly enough?

the bucks removed, slim fit

tacked up

no welding, slim fit

the base removed

marrying the seat to the tool box

mini jig for the seat front bracket, all stainless

mocking up the rear bottom part of the seat

:evil: Great fabrication Surt keep the updates coming

What about the swingarm you going to brace that too

This is great. Awesome fab skills
