Ongoing project

I purchased Delkevic exhaust this last week, free shipping for $349.00. I know a lot of you would rather have it it black, but I liked the stainless exhaust, NO RUST, easy to clean, I was really impressed with the quality of the exhaust, even comes with copper exhaust gaskets and sprig tool to connect to collector, a big plus, individual pipes, collector and muffler,Repainted the stripes from black and silver to blue and white, I like it better. The green is Duplicolor Sublime green pearl, lacquer based. Its premixed, also bought clear coat, don't recommend it, NOT gas resistant, lesson learned, re-sanded clear and shot over with urethane clear with hardener, much happier with results. I also removed inner rear fender, made a cardboard template made a plate where the rear fender was, I think its a cleaner look. Its ongoing project not sure whats on the list, maybe a more modern speedo and tach, eventually swing arm.

It's easier to see pics if you hit the "insert' button once you've added the file. You can do it in edit as well.

Great job! B)
That is a gorgeous bike. I love the custom touch with the pearl green.

That pipe seems to hang down below the engine more than other photos I've seen with that same pipe. Hope it's just the angle of the photo because it looks like the first curb you go down will rip that thing off.

Oh, and yes please on clicking "insert" on the photos.

Looks like he's parked on a berm. The collector is kinda low though. I thought about inserting the pics but won't unless asked to do so. :whistle:

Its on an incline, from the garage to the alley is uphill, the front wheel drops into the alley which makes the pipe lower looking that it really is.

I don't doubt that is true, but that pipe still looks mighty low. It definitely would hit the rotten speed bumps in my neighborhood. To illustrate, here's a comparison between it and another 750 GPZ. Ed

Doesn't seem to be hanging much lower than mine. If at all.

its not any lower, Gpz mod, the pic I took outside the ground slopes up to the gravel, then drops off where the front wheel sits in the gravel alley is lower, giving the illusion of being low in the grass. Your exhaust and mine are about the same height off the ground.
