Such a cool classic look. I wanted to do the same on my bike, but between my wife and I we finally agreed on two on one side high and stacked with a small upsweep to both after the seat. Nice lines to your chop!

I drilled each side of the frame, to match up with the tabs on the front of the tank and welded in a nut on each side and used 2 short bolts. Glad you like the pipes, local muffler man made the 40 degree bends and adapted each end. 20 bucks
