Thanks. The old pipes looked alright but they didnt work with the rearsets. Also they were 2-2 without any crossoverpipe with very cheap mufflers so these improve sound and perfomance a lot compared to the old ones.
 
Okay here she is when I bought her 2 1/2 years ago.







This is where she is as of 09/14/13. Which is about 97% finished and ready for Barber's Vintage Festival.
So there have been just a few minor changes and upgrades.

 
The Honda looks good. I still have that windshield that came off it. I have been using it for winter riding, but once I get done with the KZ1100 I don't think it'll be going back on it. I could be wrong though!! ;D
 
I guess I can finally post a Before and After of my '77 Suzuki TS250!

How it looks 2 years later:

glenhunn, I am a firm believer in "whatever puts a smile on your face" and can appreciate all the work you put into that build.... but damn that sure was a nice "Before".
 
That's quite a change Evan! Lot of hard work put into that bike and it shows, beautiful.

OK I wish I had better before pics but here she is, still have a few small things to finish like front rim and re-apint exhaust but she is ridable and after a proper tuning will see the road some.

+1 that turned out really nice, looks better than it likely did coming off the showroom floor back in the 70's
 
Its not done yet....maybe 90%...but looks wise, the only change is going to be some pancake filters, hidden wiring and a nice clear coat on it!
