The pipes look great.

My chain would slap the frame when I hit the brakes. Any clearance issue with the pipes?

Ya know I was soo mad at the rear hub being messed up that I didnt notice haha.I rotated it some and didnt hear anything but once again I was upset at the time.
It may be something I will have to compensate for by one means or the other.
If it ends up being a clearance issue Ill make a guide roller to keep the chain off the pipes.

Id like to report that the chain clears like it was factory built for pipes!!

Had a cool old shift knob laying around,it was beat up and yellowed.Found a cool way to incorporate it into my build.
Why not a shift knob horn button!
for a shift rod i used a broken sissy bar and an axle shaft.
Image
everything just kinda laying there while i scratched my head
Image
the shift rod cut down(had to be cut in half later)
Image
top view,pre clean up
Image
side view of the shaft assembly,spot welded a washer and squared it to keep it all in place
Image
knob after SOS scrub and polishing with metal polish,works great on some plastics
Image
lowered the horn assembly with a couple spacer nuts and longer screws,this is it assembled,need the horn itself now and it will work
Image
Some after popping the tank on,the tank will get some form of work down the road.

Truly hope you all like it!!!!!!!
Thanks for dropping in!!

Now that's the kind of imaginative little extras that seperate the winners from the others. What are you going to come up with for the light switch? Keep up the great work! Robert

Well,now I have dual exhaust and a 4 speed shifter....if I could just figure out how to mount a 455 in it I'd be set.
