              as far as i can tell nessism, the exaust if from a 87 gsx1100 .it was modified slighly to fit, as the gsx exaust flanges had to be replaced with ones that were a bit wider bolt patern, other than that it fit rather good.nice and quiet .

                  Very nice work!

                  You should take a picture of it in front of Mt. Fuji.

                    Toolman-that bike is freaking Insane!!! So beautiful. Under $750. You devil you. Let me guess, an old lady sold her late husbands original one owner bike? I hate you. Seriously, what a sweet bike man!

                      does it still retain the center stand?
