Because I'm a cheap (and creative and slightly artistic) muthah-puppahh!!
Seriously though, choppin's about getting rid of stuff, not boltin' expensive chrome on. Anybody can do that.
So exhibit A is black derby cover, some RUB's throwaway got for cheap on Ebay for $5, made the stencil mahself. It says "Infected", which is kinda my bike's name. It's from MACBETH. I'm an English teacher and a Shakespeare freak. When Macbeth finds out he's been duped by the witches, he curses them saying, "Infected be the air whereon they ride!" So I'm like PERFECT! Couldn't think of a better description for the air once I pass through it.
Exhibit B The Bar and Shield badge came off a sissy bar on some AMF POS. Retro aged and sick. Prebent and glued it on with PL400 industrial adhesive. Bang. Cheap! Sweet.
"It's not so much sayin this is my bike as it sayin This is not YOUR bike."
Ride on boys, ride on.

08 did you,re pipes come from another model or made up. I like the idea of a set of down pipes and a separate end can.... keeps the options open. I like it a lot.

I cut out all the elbows and re-welded as desired, then wrapped them. The wrap & paint was $70.
The muffler is an old V&H that was layin' round the garage.
