How about some mock exhaust:

Whoa! Bike looks cool. Gotta love the dirt track look, I grew up with some of Michigan's flattrack maniacs running thru my hood, so I'm a pushover for sliders.

Gotta tell ya though, when I saw the lampshade, I thought for sure Ryan would be sporting a new race helmet! All the cool kids are wearing the '07 dot approved/u.l tested Lamplighter 3000!

Nice looking little critter. Can't wait tp see the end result!
Thanks

I can't wait to see those mufflers put on....true genious man! I see mufflers in many future projects.

Thanks for the encouragement guys.

I have to admit, that if I did not have the copper left over from building the house (when the stuff was cheap) it would probably not have made it onto the bike.

I would estimate the exhaust would cost about $35 at current prices, I only paid $50 for the bike originally. A 10' length of 1 1/4" is going for around $40 right now.

But then last night, as my buddy and I are in the copper isle at the Home Cheapo, he says he has some scrap 2" laying around! I think that could be made to look like a set of Hard Krome Sideburners with that girth. Might have to look into that.

Packrats will always make the best Ratrodders! "Hey, don't throw that out!"

Well, back to work.
