The end product turned out amazing, Mike! I like the little tail kick up too! All in all, looks VERY clean.

Quick question- how much ground clearance do you have from the collector pipe on your header to the ground? I think I'm looking at 3" or so with mine.

Yup. Still haven't fixed. I'll post updates when I do.

Took the bike out last night for a ride. Went about 30 miles which is the longest ride it has been on since I have owned it. I don't have a functional speedometer right now but I think I had it up to around 80mph or so. In lots of corners on a winding road. Bike rides so nice! Handles like it's 25 years newer! Exhaust wasn't a problem at all either. I didn't corner as hard as I would have liked due to traffic.

Bike runs perfect with the Suzuki exhaust. No lean popping or anything. Pods with stock jets!

Awesome news with the ride, Mike! I'm getting the itch to finish my project up! That's even better that it didn't give you any issues with jetting (even though you have the pods and a different exhaust). How do the plugs look after the ride? As for the collector- that's some really good news for me- means I should be ok with mine too :)Got any video clips of the bike running for a sound check?

Awesome job on the build!

Wiring was simple. 2 wires. I modified the MC and it works great!
