Did you change jets at all? If not, did you notice any difference in idle, power, or get any fouling?

[LarryMcauley]

@SledgeMakeGood I did re-jet and rebuild the carb when I cut the pipes. After all the work the power feels about the same as before...it just looks and sounds alot better

is that the 19" comstar wheels just painted? I'm thinking of replacing the 19 up front with a 17".

[LarryMcauley]

@masonskr yeah I just painted the stock wheels, I'm a lazy bastard

The bike had full length Jardine pipes when I bought it. I cut out the cross member and welded it shut. Then I cut off the stock hanger and flipped the pipes upside down which turned them upward. Finally I cut the length with a chop-saw into a nice short slash cut and welded the shortened hangers back on the opposite side.
