The exhaust wrap was a first for me, i soaked it in water than wrapped it around the pipe, went on like a dream, the only problem was i only got one roll and it wasnt enough for two pipes, and i knew it this always happens, ill drop by the store tomorrow and get some more. the black looks really good, i left the tips of the pipes bare, it looks like a shot gun, i love it hoping it sounds good, it might be a bit lout with the straight through pipes, ill probably end up getting a muffler insert and weld it inside the tips, might help with rego too.
Im getting to the home stretch with my little project and im taking my time, in a way i dont want to finish because its my little escape, im already planing a big chopper build from scratch but step by step for now.

Hey guy
this weekend i decided to fix a few things that were bothering me
the exhaust pipes didnt look good enough when wrapped because of some edges i forgot to weld up into a nice curve, so i got the old angle grinder out and cut up some bends and welded them on so when i wrap it up it will blend nicely
the other thing was the rear fender the side struts just didnt look good and wernt functional when i bolted it all up it kept moving slightly so i decided to bent it into a nice shape and secure them properly where the fender was not going to move at all, i dont have much equipment so i had to bend them by hand and my arms are toast

The exhaust will look a hell of a lot better now! Glad you fixed that.

Hey Guys hope everyone is well
ok so i have fixed the pipes and wrapped them, although i couldnt find my good zip ties so i got some shitty ones to hold for now, looks better than before,
I also put on a head light and a rear stop light and when i finished installing all of it the bike really blew me away again its really starting to look like what i had planned, well with the limited skill, knowledge and tools the best that it can.
the head light was very easy to install all the wires were the same colour so it was a straight swap,
the rear light was a bitch to say the least, the guy at the store convinced me to buy the LED which looked really good and better than the one i was going to get bit more expensive too. but i just couldnt get the light to turn on properly it kept doing the opposite, so alot of trial and error until i got the right combination of wires, but worth it in the end.
