Finished my exhaust project on Tuesday night. Rode it a little yesterday and getting back out there today. Sound isn't overly loud, nothing worse than some of the other twins w/ race style pipes. Big thanks to Tim D and his welding skills.

No dyno time yet... seat of the pants? well, its definitely smoother w/ no noticeable loss of low down grunt. The front tire did feel a lot lighter.

Looks good and I like how it hugs the bottom of the engine like my D&D without sticking out to the side.

Vid/sound will have to wait until I find someone w/ a camera and good mic... and yes BSON special it is. I have to give the welding skills up to my buddy Tim Dolan. He put up w/ me taking over his garage mon/tues night to get this thing done.

Crikey! Those are some bigass exit holes!
Are you painting it, polishing it or leaving it bare?
