PM my brother badkz77, he has my old V&H pipe. He took it off his bike due to a small dent in the collector, the chrome is nice and it has a baffle, I'm pretty sure he'd let it go cheap. It's on the bike in his build thread.

I bought the Tracy body years ago at the meet in Ohio. I need to do something today on the bike. I hope there is a fire built in the shop.

I was suppose to deliver a four wheeler I have cleaned the carbs and serviced. It's a 650 Kawasaki. Awsome .Big machine. It is pouring down raining. Roy

That's a good looking start Roy. I'm sorry to hear about your predicament, but it looks like you have a good source of therapy right there. Get that smooth looking bike on the road and I bet you can find someone willing to hop on the back with you!

I had to have a rear sprocket made and it is aluminum. I need a steel one made.

Doug told me about the folks that built mine.

They only make aluminum. I think they are out of business. Roy

I spent two hours cleaning up this set of juggs. They had a lot of paint on them. This was done in a blasting cabinet.
