Default Am I back?

I guess so. Here's a pic of my new pipes. A little tubing, a little welding and there ya have it. Had a guy cut the angles for me 'cuz I have no eye for that stuff and I did the final tweeking and welding. I really can't believe that so few people actually work on their own bikes anymore. It really is easy if ya think about what yer doing.

Good looking pipes.
I regard those of us who can work on our bikes as lucky. Some folks just can't do it themselves for any number of reasons.
