          Trevor, I have a pristine, original, complete, exhaust system for a 82 GS-1100e. I would consider selling it to you. It won't be cheap and the shipping might be expensive. If you think you might be interested in it let me know...

              Good work with the spray bomb on headers! Did you use their primer too? (I had trouble with the clear coat lifting the paint so I'll be leery of that again... so what trick did you use?)

                No trick. I did two coats of the flat black then let it sit for an hour then went at it with the clear coat. Worked good for me.

                  Polished up Wolf exhaust can today. Here are some before and after pics
                  Monday I start putting the bike back together.
                  I will put the Wolf emblem on once the pipe has been fitted back on the bike

                        Oh, God. I love headers, black headers, and I love the word 'racing.'

                        When I bought a new Dunlop for the rear of my Kaw 900, the salesman asked, "Street or race compound?"

                        If you told me it was from a race dog, I'd scoop up a pile of shyte and display it in my kitchen.

                        Trevor, your work and your taste are impeccable.

                          Looks awesome! I’ll be happy if mine is even half as nice as this.

                          where did you get the side cover pin stripes? I’m sure I could make it myself but I’m lazy and wondering if there was a pre made one available

                              My buddy Mark came over here today and we got at putting it back together....we did get it fired up but carb 4 had a leak...carbs off again...so much fun lol...
                              Happy with the look of the exhaust and managed to get a nicer bend up at the can...much better than it was...

                                Well things are coming along....I have some details left like swapping those hideous bars out (motocross bars, really?) Lol
                                The side covers have some tab repairs needed....I need to bleed the brakes, clean up the gauges....oh and disconnect the wire that goes to the battery for the idiot light on the dash.
                                Plus the tank is not hooked up yet.....I'm falling in love with the bike now....there were thoughts of selling but I don't think I can do it....to perrrty. Lol
                                Really happy that I bent the exhaust can up a bit too....
