Buttoned up the right side and ran into another snag on the left side, spacer purchased from Primo for the derby cover to clear the clutch is too wide and still hits the weights of the clutch, going to give it to my relative to cut it out because I don't feel like caveman'n it with a die grinder.
Dragula's equal length pipes are different looking but all about giddy up, going to get the black tips when doing the ghost and keep the tradition. Another tradition is the 80" air cleaner cover which makes it easy to answer "It's a 80 inch Evo"
Jasper might be interested in the pic with the fuel line, made a stainless line running behind the head using a exhaust bolt and support to secure the line, didn't like the idea of running between the massive heads and possible heating up or rubbing

Ceramic coated pipes inside and outside, an advantage of Dragula's design is cutting down on external heat and the gap is further than what the pic looks like. If it does seem to heat up I have insulated heat tape that we use on wire harness's around turbo chargers in the truck world so my 1 or 2 brains cells left are always on overtime.

Might go ahead and wrap the rubber hose below the pipe, I have a couple days before the oil hose arrives so it will eliminate "what if"

Drago has to have to the pipes cooled down because the rear sticks out and close to the leg. If it gets hot, not to many people would buy it even it guarenteed major horsepower, burn you leg once and they would be off.
