Love it, I really like how it's turning out. Great job. Any pics of what you cut off the frame?

what, me worry?
plumbers got the right idea... i think it would look pretty sick if your got a shorter can and raised it up near the seat, and put a guard on it so you dont burn the shit out of yourself.

Thanks guys..you read my mind about the exhaust sheild. The exhaust I 've ordered is much shorter and has a better rise and somewhat goes with the whole vintage thing, and better yet it's meant for the bike. It's from MIVV, called the X-Cone. Pictured below is the x-Cone exhaust on a bike the same as mine. The second pic is a rendering I did in Paint to see what the whole thing would look like. I plan on altering the mid pipe and exhaust bracket as I want the exhaust tip to line up with the end of the seat or at the very least not go too far past the seat. Third pic is a stock z750.

Putting boot to ass since 1967!
I really like where this is going!
Were it me, I'd run a couple peashooters at fairly steep upward angles, one on each side.
As well, lightly polished aluminum fender and rear hugger would really cement the look.
I think you can get away with that tank too, strip it, polish it up and have it powdercoated "aluminum" and run the snot outta the thing!

Done..well she's at least 99% done. Just need to shave tabs, paint side of fender, do something with the coolant reservoir (either paint it black or relocate with different bottle) I'll leave that stuff for the winter.

That's perfect! I'd say black out the head pipes or use black header wrap, but the can and tail light are perfect...

hmm.... i like the can, but i still think an under seat ducati ass warmer style would be pretty killer.... but im really impressed with how it came out! congrats

That tail light looks like the one I have. Like you said it is brutally bright. I blinded myself a number of times wiring it up
Helps to be seen but I think it may annoy some people behind us at a stop light ;Dguitargeek
