wrapped the exhaust, bled the brakes and took her out today. Need to bleed the brakes again, very squishy. Didn't go far I have no brake lights. I'll post a video tomorrow. I NEED REAR SETS BAD!

awesome work, sick bike and nice job on the honda. What exhaust did you use/have? I saw it was 4->1, if so where'd you get it, how'd you mod it? Sounds good too!

MB Co - I picked up a box cafe seat from air-tech. Takes a month to build and a 4 days to ship. I should have it around the begining of Feb.

**sorry man i re read it. I'm assuming you meant rear sets. I'm still looking into it. Trying to find the most cost effective way to do it.

RandomMX - I picked up two bikes and a lot of parts when i purchased. The 4-1 came with it, I believe it's a Mac. I'm running it open header. I wrapped it with titanium exhaust wrap up to the collector and polished the pipe. The Honda is my first project and took about 18 months to build. Fun bike.
