    Angle reduced by approximately 1/2. What do you think? Ray

          Revision #1 looks better to my eye Ghost.
          Could you possibly take another pic with at least the seat/tailpiece on?
          I think the bodywork would "calm" the look down a bit.

            With seat and tail sitting on bike, tank has blind flanges too large to clear frame. Ray

              that angle looks awesome, and the manufacture name tag looks great with your color scheme.

              something seems strange to me, how are you running the engine with no fuel tank?

                Looks much better. Personally, I'd shorten them up by cutting down the section just before the muffler, but that's personal preference. You did a nice job.

                  Looks good to me, Ray.
                  G1100 is right. The badging on the muffler matches nicely.

                    Thanks guys. The strange thing isn't all that strange, if you watch the video closely you can see an aluminum cylinder I use for tuning an running without a gas tank. She's not running at all right now though, oil started leaking from the cylinder base gasket. I went ahead and pulled her apart to fix that and replace #2 & #3 ring sets that only had around #100 lbs compression. One step forward and a bunch backward. Ray

                      You beat me to it. I was going to suggest taking off an inch or two. And reduce the angle a little more so the outlet is straight back instead of the slight upward tilt. Just my 2 cents worth.

                        I might make the length of the connecting pipe shorter and possibly reduce the angle some, though I am pretty happy with the angle look. Once I reassemble the engine the rest of the bike should come together pretty quick now. I post pics when I finish. Ray

                          I like the length. I would come down about 3-5 degrees in order to make the pipe sit about an inch lower at the end, give it a bit more space between it & the indicator whilst still leaving you access to remove the wheel.

                            I had a bunch of people tell me that my exhaust was up too high........too long.......etc!

                            Keep it like it is.......NO ONE else will have one like it

                            I think it looks tough......
