This is my pride, my beauty, my ride! Welcome

This is when she was a mess!
No gasket, no carburetor needles, no cdi, no coils, etc! Everything was bad

You need a better sound silencer, not a water pipe style exhaust trumpet

Cleaner than other bikes i've seen. I bet it's LOUD AF too! I started mine without a muffler just for shits & giggles and damn! NOPE! horrid noise everywhere..lol

A few tips with header wrap. Don't wrap it on mild steel pipes, especially if exposed to moisture for extended periods of time, they'll rust faster. But it you do, paint them with some high temp paint (like from VHT) and let it cure (follow the instructions on label) If you soak your wrap in water, it makes wrapping it a lot easier, It won't unravel if your hand cramps or lose a grip. After it's wrapped (or the wrap has completely dried), spray it with a few coats of high temp color or clear if you like the wrap color. That'll also help keep it together and won't get as itchy if skin rubs against it.

Cheap labor isn't skilled, skilled labor isn't cheap.

If you yourself are building an older bike and can see it through till you're riding it, that's proof you have patience.
