Bike looks good. The way I understand it Vivid Dragon was started by a former employee of Airea 5150. He received his walking papers due to an "Attitude" problem. When I spoke to him on designs for my bike, I seen why. No call backs and righteous answers do not get my business. I'm glad to see your happy with your bike, and it did come out nice. I am not criticizing any shops, just found alot of differences between paint procedures(clean rooms,bake rooms etc.) customer communication and professionalism needed for the ultimate paint job. There are alot out there and I learned by asking before jumping. I guess I just want to let any first timers know to be careful. I learned alot (my first) through research,phone calls and people in general. Nothing worse than to see your money crack and peel a year after you spent it. IMHO, Be Careful. No insults intended, just honest information.

Question, I'm guessing those muffler hanger covers are the HD ones like these?

Found HERE

Yes they are the hangers you have shown with one minor change. The inside relief has to be bent flat otherwise they will sit above the muffler diameter. I used a small arbor press at work and bent the inside so it was flat with the top. They now sit right on the muffler. When you get that fat cat on there you'll have to do that. You realize you'll have to get the ghost pipe then because those covers are sold in pairs!!!!!!!!!! What a dilemma.
