How sharp will the bend on cylinders 3 and 4? That looks like a rather sharp 180 degree bend.

I think I read in the "two stroke tuner's handbook" that sharp bends have NO effect as long as they are smooth and the diameter and length is correct.
My former SV650 had a VERY sharp bend from the factory.

LEDs work well. I'll polish the inside of the tunnels for more reflection

This is one SWEET looking ride!
I'm doing a rear end conversion on my '78 650 (like what you did at the start of this build). Just wondering if you could PM me with tips and hints for when I start the conversion. I'm putting a rear end off a '99 ninja 900 on it, mono shocking it, etc.
Any help would be awesome
