Took a couple of pics in good light. I finnished up the exhaust and this is basically the general look of the bike. I'm going to do something with the frame...not sure what yet...and the front fender needs to be coated. Thinking of coating the tail too. Tank is covered in bedliner. Awesome stuff.

Will be installing her bar-end mirrors and a few other little trinkets in the next day or so...but this is what she turned into.

I do like that exaust. What is it?
 
It's a Mak-special... 45mm header pipes stepped up to 48mm then 52mm mids, a 52/52 to 64mm collector, 64mm trail pipe and a 64mm Apex'i can that I've done some moddification to (mostly repack with a light absorbent mesh and lots of stainless steel mesh).

Brief clip but it doesn't do the system justice...

This is with 28" 48mm header pipes to turn downs...just sharing for giggles...

The first link didn't work.
The second did!
 
Why not bedliner the frame as well?

What would the custom sportbike world do without Hawk 650 swingarms? They get used for just about every conversion.
 
It's coming together nicely. Any thoughts/plans for putting risers and conventional handlebars on it?
 
I may bedliner the frame, too...it's just kinda disapointing to not be able to do it propperly like I could with the yellow.

Not changing the bars...at least not at the moment. I'm too big a fan of clip-ons...I like the riding stance much more.
 
She's coming along nicely. Those sound clips made me miss my TL.
