Outstanding work and an amazing attention to detail, you should be proud.

Personally I vote for the dual exhaust, looks way cool.

I can't say anything that hasn't been said, great looking bike. Someday when I have cash flow again I would love to do something like that to my 1300. That along with a USD swap on front and new powder coating for frame and engine paint and I am a happy camper.

But again awesome bike.

Cut and weld, cut and weld.

You can buy 90 radius bends in 1 and 1/4" galvanized steel pipe at home depot for cheap. You basically just cut and weld these together until you get the curve desired.

On the V&H, i actually just bought a car exhaust tip with a 15 degree bend it it, slipped it onto the collector, and then sliiped the muffler onto the tip. I then put a chrome cover over the whole mess
