Wow...nice project! Are those Stainless Works side pipes available, or was that a one off piece? Will they work with the factory frame?
|
Nice project
Nice work Dave! Brings back memories of my build. Mike at SRIII does excellent work. The side pipes are nice too, I thought long and hard about going that route, but stuck with rear exit.
Who did the gas tank for you? I need to upgrade mine as I get fuel starvation from slosh below half a tank or less when cornering hard. Cheers, Jim |
