Thanks,
A bit of an update; I'm still waiting for parts so i can change my oil pan and stop that leak. I was looking for options for the next phase of fixing her up one issue being the beat up, ill fitting and ugly original mufflers. I posted a question in the Engine forum and after some excellent assistance ended up buying a full exhaust off a '01 ZR7 that has a Kerker clamped on to it for a total of $87 off eBay. It should be here anytime. Since I have to take the headers off to remove the oil pan anyway it will be going on when I put every thing back together.
I also ordered some inexpensive bar-end mirrors off Amazon. They are AWESOME! One caveat, the lower end of the mount interfered with the end of my clutch lever. I would have had an issue with the brake lever as well if the end of that wasn't already broken off. So, I just grabbed a crescent wrench and snapped off the balled end of the clutch lever.
Not only am I not watching my arms and shoulders cruising down the road, I can see the A-hole in the Lexus trying to give me a rectal exam at speed. The most unexpected thing was that my ride was much quieter. I had no Idea how much those mirrors were causing wind noise and helmet buffeting.
It's going to take some getting used to having to purposely look down a bit to see the mirrors. It's not any more challenging than checking the side mirror on a car just have to make it a new habit.

This will be the last time the stock pipes will be on.... unless I do a complete resto but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

I have the header on but don't currently have a suitable clamp. Workin on it along with conjuring up hangers and tracking down gremlins causing power loss.
