Subscribed. I'm battling the cafe or tracker idea for my 360. I'll watch and learn from you. And the K70's look great. I rock'em on my cb550.

captain awesome said:That looks good, really good. I have a megaphone style muffler off a kz440. Not sure if it would fit right or not. Once you know the OD of the flange I can find out for sure.
wixil said:Thanks, man. I have to work at finesse stuff really slowly, but it's getting there. Do you have a pic of the megaphone? No biggie if you don't. Should have that by Monday or Tuesday. My plan on the inner fender is to try to cut the stock inner fender down a bit and mount it. If it's too fugly, then I'm going to mount some thin aluminum on the diagonal rails where the stock inner fender clip tabs exists. There's definitely going to be something keeping the dirt, mud, and Chuck Norris whiz off the carbs.

wixil said:Two minor updates to report. As for the fiberglass, it's still ugly. I knocked down the funky stuff where the seams of cloth and resin met to form stalagmites with some 80 grit sand paper. There are some nasty low spots, so I chose a test area and slathered on some short hair fiberglass filler. I'll see what it looks like after it dries and I get a chance at making it smooth. Then I'll post some horror pictures to scare any wannabes like me away from fiberglass for good.
The other thing of noteworthiness is that my CJ header came in the mail today. Crusty. That's about all I can say. The chrome is beyond the point of no return with surface rust. That actually works out. I wanted one I could knock the crud off of and cover with some ceramic based black paint. This one should do nicely for that. If Captain Awesome wants to work out a deal for my mufflers, I'm open to that. I will require a suitable muffler replacement in exchange. The O.D. on the end of the header is 1.9ish" then necks up to 2.2ish" and then necks up to a solid 2.5". I could probably get away with stealing the muffler on my other bike (2.5"), but I have too much in that one to go in search of another for that bike. Looks like a 2" muffler would be appropriate/stockish for this one. I have a spare muffler with a ding in it from the other set, but then I'll have to have some sort of hideous adapter. Thoughts?
