My initial thoughts on the gold engine were pretty negative. You have definitely resolved the issue. It looks GREAT!!
Congrats,

Before I saw the last pictures I was going to suggest you get a few cans of some spray carb cleaner to get that gold paint off of your engine real quick but,,,,,,I am glad I did not stick my foot in my mouth because that looks awesomely handsome! Good work. ===================== crosso

Well I had to put new pipes after seeing Oldboy's bike. So I pick up some on ebay for about $60 with shipping. They were new, old stock and still in there boxes. I like the way they look on the bike and you can remove the baffle if you like. Any-hay, I just love this site because if you are stump you can come here and get ideals from others. I think this bike is influence by so many bikes here and I'm just happy to know you guys.
I have leaks were header connect to the muffler and may need to go with a 1100 header it has a little of a up swept tip.
Need to lift the left a little more; also the 1100 must have longer rear end then the 1000. I had to do some fab work to keep it clear of everything.
and her is a few new pics.

MY! Standing ovation. You have raised the bar for the cafe genre! Is that an Emgo fairing? I might suggest a fork brace, not only for handling, but it will add a beefy design statement to that front end..
I found the end of the internet

Yea, I have a fork brace I was going to put on but it did not clear the fender, so I need to make some shims for it to clear or get a new one that will work with the fender. Not sure what the fairing is, I got it used on ebay.sunnbobb wrote:MY! Standing ovation. You have raised the bar for the cafe genre! Is that an Emgo fairing?
