I like it! Looks like you've got the engineering figured out, now just get that puppy cut out of some steel or aluminum.

Omaha, your bike is going to sound real good with the true duals, looking forward to hearing them next week.

Found a guy with a waterjet who will make this thing cheap. Decided to go that route.

I went ahead and drew it up.



I left off the final mounting hole for now. I'll get it installed and then mark the final location at that time, just in case things come out a little different than I expect.

If anyone is interested, here is a vector PDF version that your waterjet guy should be able to use directly.

All done!


Took it out for a little, 10 mile test spin. If the true dual headers are costing me anything in terms of performance, I can't feel it. Runs fine. Sounds good. And the decel pops are gone.

I'll give it a few days and a few miles before I go back and check all the fasteners. Then I'll see if any of the stock heat shields will fit. For now, though, the brand new chrome on these looks so nice, I think I'll run them naked for a while.

Here's a video of it at idle.
