I can’t wait to see it done too! Haven’t heard the exhaust yet. And yes, I did cut out that ugly piece of metal. Looks much better. Spent 8 hours last weekend polishing the aluminum bits for the engine. Engine case and cylinders will be matte black.

it looks really good. i cant wait to see it done. im in the middle of building one now and its so overwhelming but it will be worth the wait and aggravation. how does the exhaust sound when you fire it up? and where your neck is at, did you cut out that piece of metal that covers over that gap i think im doing the same one mine

The exhaust I made from some J-bends from Summit. I welded the original flanges up front, I cut the J-bend in the middle of the arc and rewelded to make the turn,and the chrome parts are pieces from the original exhaust with the inner pipe removed. I left about 2″ of the inner pipe at flange to mimic those anti reversion inserts they sell. Gonna run it and see if I need to install any baffles before I wrap them. Probably leave just an inch or 2 of the chrome pipe showing. The frame in the picture is in bare steel. I painted the frame gloss black urethane last week. Painting the engine matte black this week and beginning assembly. (finally) These projects seem to nickel and dime you to death!

I’ve got the bike apart again. Mockup’s done, prepping for paint. Decided against the chopper shox for the seat, didn’t look right. I’m using small block chevy valve springs. Vey supportive. Way less squishy than the drag specialty seat springs. The fender is a 6 inch Paughco shortened 10 inches or so. More photos soon as I can.

Oddly enough, right after I posted the comment on B’s bike, I scored a set of brand new chopper shox for my seat from a buddy who’s not using them on his rigid. Freebie. Is karma a cool thing or what? Plans are for gloos urethane black on frame, fork lowers and fender, keeping the flamed tank, matte black on engine case, and no front fender. Thinking maybe about natural colored leather for the seat to set it off a bit. Hopefully I’ll be riding in the spring, just watching the budget. (or my wife is) Thanx for the feedback!

Nice bike man, I saw this one the other day, and I really like the pipes! What else are you going to be doing to the bike? When are you going to be done and riding?

The sissy bar looks about right to me. Any taller you would need to go with a thicker bar I think and add some more bends up arouond the fender. Love the pipes and free tank!
