And I have just read all 37 pages. Man, you've done some excellent nice work. Looks great!
I'm jealous of where you get to ride though. Am hoping to hit the area sometime this summer.
Turbos, Hondas, 4-bangers, what could go wrong?

It isn't sure if I'll be in my Integra or on the bike. Depends on the group I ride down with.
Allegedly, my dad's Rolling Thunder group goes through the mountains. In July, a bunch of guys are going to Import Alliance in NC, and are making sure the route goes through the tail. So no idea when it's going to happen. But it's going to happen if I can, dammit!

Done and back together. Fixed the dreaded throttle spring and few other odds and ends that have been bugging me. Any chance I can call this done? Doubtfully.

I wasn't sure about wrapping the pipes. I liked how it turned out. Looks less bulky,I think. I know those spigots are a PITA to deal with.But I still prefer the looks of them and the smooth clamps.I'm glad you turned me on to those, Tools. You have another 4 into 1 dontcha? I remember when I got this one off of you,you had two of them.I think  lol buffet racer still makes me laugh. Looking forward to see that one.

I told you before man,no take backs! 75 miles and the wrap is STILL smoking! A nice gentleman at a traffic light informed me me bike was steaming and I might ought to check my water.LOL.He meant well, but it was hard not to laugh.Glad I was wearing a helmet.Would you believe it actually quietened the exhaust noise? I wouldn't have thought it.It actually quietened it a fair amount. I'm sure Prof. Sees' will have an uber-scientific explanation for it

I'm just curious:
Can you put ape hangers on a cafe bike? *ducks to avoid 10mm wrenches being thrown at him*

I'm sure, you could. However knowing Shiny he would mount them upside down, and scrape his knuckles going around corners. TOOLS

You lost me with the spigot talk Care to elaborate?

Yeah, I heat-wrapped my little '75 Honda XR75's exhaust and it quitted it down from the front of the bike, makes all the sound come out of the tailpipe, it's like insulation in a house, keeps the heat in and the sound in.
Can't trust those GPS's Shiny, Tom Tom has screwed me a few times, turn left here when there is no left and looks like there never was a left..... lol

Sound like a plan Piute.I always enjoy tinkering on a old hotrod
Hellbilly-I know what you mean about gps's.Some repo guys got lost by fault of their gps and ended up at my house wanting to repo a 4 wheeler. Thats a story in itself,but yeah,gps can be tricky little creatures.
1/2 baby cow-the spigots are what some of the bike used to mount the header.Imagine a flat plate that bolts the exhaust ports with about 2" of pipe sticking out of it.The header is split and slips over that pipe on the spigot,then a clamp seals it all up.Awesome clean look,but can be hard to deal with.This is the best pic I have of it on the bike.I dig the finned deals too,but I do prefer these.You can pull your header off,leaving the spigots in place without disturbing your copper washers
