Looks very clean and capable - did you have any fitment/quality issues with the Vance & Hines pipe? Thank you, Scott

Thanks guys!
The Vance & Hines fits different than the 80's model I took off as far as quality had 1 issue with
the collar going over 1 tube inner flange was crimped offset and had to massage to get it over it
it fits closer to rear peg so could eliminate home made bracket
I used up a can of VHT inside it hopefully im not too lean or rich for coloring the tubes time will tell
Appreciate all your help and you know who you are LOL

been a while since I have done anything but ride my old girl
Finally broke down and bought a chain guard on feebay and it was butt ugly
Wrapped it with some carbon fiber wrap looks way better but really need to have one made
this swingarm was designed to have a tire hugger/chain guard combo not sure if I would/ could pull that off
it would be destroyed from hitting the frame in no time
thinkin about wrapping the forks
may go out and do that before I put her away tonight
