I've been toying around with some pipes on this. The pipes on it now are cool, but someone gutted and kind of destroyed the "muffler" part of them. I was thinking of running dual pipes up the back a little. Found these duc pipes and thought it might be cool. Eh?

Nice! Got a pic or a link to your build thread?

^ +1, would like to see how you have that set up. My brother offered me his stock Duc cans and I wasn't sure whether or not to take him up on them (also, they weigh three hundred pounds each)

Yeah, that's the only reason I'm going back and forth on them. I bet they weigh a ton.

The one I picked up is aluminum and titanium and weighs alot less than one of the stock silencers from my bike. I haven't put it on yet, so a pic would be of no help, it's laying on a shelf with a bunch of pipe in my garage.

Thanks for the input guys. Maybe I'll go see how much they weigh and give him a price based on that? haha :

Well, I found a setup from a Hayabusa that was relatively cheap. $80 for headers, and 4 cans. 1 was damaged, so I started to tear it apart to see if I could make some shorter (and far lighter) mufflers for this thing. So far, it's a no-go. Aluminum outer casing that I can't seem to slip the insides out of. I'm sure I'll eventually get it. But for now. I have adapted the GSXR1300 headers to the cb. I like them, and it seems that I can still get to my oil filter up front without too much trouble as long as the bike isn't too hot! : There's a mounting point in the rear of the pipes where it crosses. I've got to make some new collar spacers up front, and then weld a point for it to attach at that X point. So far, so good.

Took me a bit, but I just went through your build from start until now. I'm loving the way this is turning out and definitely like your style. Can't wait to see the finished product!

Thanks a lot. I appreciate it. I hate how long it takes me to get to the bike though. I'm driving down to Georgia for a wedding...so progress won't happen until next week. I'll be starting and finishing the seat pan when I get home Wednesday if all goes well! Thanks again.

I've lived in GA for about a year now. You should enjoy the warmth while you're down.

Dang, just got all of this. We were in Augusta. Great wedding, little chilly, but better than the snow I had here!
