Ok, so it rolls around. Now what?

With the front end back on, it's time to think about exhaust.  I found a set of custom pipes on Ebay for $50.00 that looked like they had potential.  The Seller threw in the baffles, clamps and some silver ceramic / VHT paint, so I guess he didn't see it...  Because of the way the rear peg mounts were located, I knew they would have to be cut pretty short not to interfere with the rear braking lever. 

The rear brake post/pivot actually turned out pretty decent. If I were to do it again, I probably would go with forward controls and eliminate a lot of effort. I wasn't sure of the comfort, though. And, it would have been too late to go back with the frame already painted.

I wrapped the exhaust in black and finished the ends with brass caps.  You'll see little bits of brass accents as the build proceeds.
