I love these pipes!
This shape is just damn sexy, IMHO. They'll be blacked-out and wrapped in tan exhaust tape in the end. Looks like I've got 2 mounts to fab for support brackets...sigh.

aaah. whilst I was waiting for the pic to download, I had the image of a pair of shorties dancing in my head. I'm a fan of black pipes with exhaust tape, but not so sure about the length of yours. I shall therefore withhold my judgment until I see the finished product

Looks cool, definitely. However, is the front (lower) exhaust pipe going to need a skidplate for r/h turns?

They look cool. As long as they don't make sparks during hard right turns.
And I too have always appreciated the pure-business rat-bike concept. Flat black everything, with all parts removed that are unnecessary. Gets washed when it rains, single-seater.

If the pipes do touch down on RH turns....it wouldn't be the first bike of mine that did that...
Looking at the angles in my garage, though...I think the frame will hit first.With the turnouts these are perfectly aimed right at the driver's side window of cellphone-yakkers...
