Well, with life being what it is, I haven't had as much time as I'd like to spend with my Speedy. But I've got the pipes almost done. Here's one side (just need to put the tips on and paint / wrap them.



I'm trying to get them to conform to the lines of the bike. I'm happy so far.

Sorry for the crappy cellphone pic.

Looks good, are you using the original header? I would like to get rid of the dull drone that my speedie makes, has anyone changed the header pipe and had any good results???

I don't think messing with the headers (other than either blocking or cutting out the crossover pipe) will do much to change the way your bike sounds.

I used the stockers. Just cut off the heat shields and crossover pipe (convenient as I made patches for the crossover pipe from the torn-off heat shields).

Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.
