I think I'll make some;) Bronze velocity stacks would look killer on my bike. Cant decide if I should machine them from solid or cast them?

Thanks Bad Kaw:blush: I went to school to be a machinist a few years ago. I always wanted to be able to cast parts so I read up on it and built a metal melting furnace and started melting metal. I am still learning, but I'm getting better.

Thanks again for the kind words, Wes

Well it's been a while sense I've posted to this.Well I thought I had it but I'm having a little trouble with the trany so I haven't started it yet. Everything else is working, lights, starter, blinkers so as soon as I finish up a paint job I'll be able to get the trans worked out. Here's a few pix.
