Took the thing out on the highway today to run it through the gears, and the thing is almost scary fast! Old tires, no lights, no plate, no insurance so i revved through the gears a few times and let it coast for a bit then took it in for an oilchange. Thankfully no cops, haha! Clutch is working much better now, almost zero metal shavings in the oil pan so i think running this in nice and slowly now will be fine.
Gonna go for wiring it up now and go se the safety inspection people soon..
 
Well we'll see about that whole headlight 6' in the air thing..! Its cool but you know..
Its not like people dont stare enough already! Which i kinda enjoy, but not half as much as ripping around on it..
 
Almost done with the wiring, just some mandatory idiot lights left. And a strange flickering rear light when main switch is off... damn that's odd...
 
excellent work on the collector. I made a 3-1 for my cafe build xs750, but I was going from (3) 1.5" pipes to a single 1.75 outlet for a triumph dunstall style muffler.....I cut up a bunch of round 1.5" pipe to make a 3-1 collector and then cut the back inward until the 1.75" diameter was flush. took me like 4hrs to make that damn collector lol.

I had a lotta practice rolling cones in my free time and making stuff out of metal at work, so that combined it goes really fast to put one together these days.
Works a treat!
Think I'll make one more and hook up a quieter muffler for the inspection, also i dont like the rattle the fishtail makes.
 
So glad I've never had to have one of my bikes inspected. I don't think I'd ever pass one leaving horns off ;)

Yea, i dont know what your deal is in the states, do only some states have road safety inspections?
And is it only cars and not bikes?
Here every second year we have to make the bikes road legal i.e quiet exhaust, working brakes and lectrics and such.
And cars are every year.
Pure nazi regime..
Anyhow, gonna go get it done right now, hopefully it passes so i can build me a loud ass exhaust!
 
It passed with flying colors! All road legal now! Took a long detour home and its a blast riding this thing!
 
Awesome! Glad it passed.

We don't even have our cars inspected. We have the emissions tested occasionally... But that's it. And if the car is old enough, you don't even have to do that.

In some states, like Texas, I know they do have to go through a safety inspection before its registered. In Idaho and Oregon, the two states I have lived in, nothing at all.

Damn. I guess thats why you can build them wild ass bikes over there. :)
Over here it's a long, expensive and bureaucratic process getting something like yours approved for road use..
 
So far so good, ran out of gas a few kms from my parens place, reserve apparently didn't exist. Otherwise all good!
