crash beams are over rated ! i keep forgetting i still have a stainless exhaust. I want the aluminum but mine sounds good now that i welded on a resonator that i don’t really want to get rid of it. I’ll have to hear one with a muffler/resonator in person to decide ---

Yea if you could id appreciate it. It’d be for one with resonator and muffler for jdm rear (don’t think that’d effect price lol) Idk what one costs regularly but if it’s a good enough deal and if I can sell mine I’d pick one up for sure ---

This exhaust that’s on it is going bye-bye as we hated the way it came out, having tubes bent up to start over this weekend. Once this is done, I have another of the same bike I’m building into a chopper for myself since I sold my XS650 bobber. Then I’ll get back to my CB550 crazy hybrid bike project. ---

Pretty much worked on the house first part of the winter, but now I’m getting the itch to do something awfully raw. Been looking at pre-'55 Chevys… chopped and flamethrowers? ---

The exhaust is probably half the weight of the Buschur one on your car now. I switched to mine from a Buschur and it was 10 lbs lighter. ---

Man weekend coming up - Welding some tabs on the rear end, prefabbing the brake-lines, cleaning/prepping/painting rear end, assembling rear-end with center section, axles, brakes, and brake lines. Removing remaining items from the bottom of the car, welding anti-roll bar tabs to car, scrubbing, scuffing, and rubberized undercoating the bottom of the car. Hopefully reinstalling the gas tank and new rear end into the car by the end of the man weekend. Then I can order wheels during the week as the fun parts of the winter project begin. ---
