When I overhauled them 2 winters ago I polished them myself.

Bloody hard work, I would say 16 hours a piece have a look at my post about it, has stage pictures.

The Exhaust is a bit of a mongrel, I used Quill T2 Titanium Oval end cans and cut them back about 50mm so they didn't stick out too much at the rear, in many cases High rise exhaust make your bike look like a bloody wheel barrow which I wanted to avoid, the link pipes are from a company down South called Wolf, if you look carefully you can see where I've cut and shut them just under the foot rest, this was to make them fit and look better with a much smoother appearance to fall in line with seat/tail unit, again if you look you can see I made a Titanium heat shield so I don't burn my boots, also I altered the the passenger foot rest so they can still be used, another feature not uaually available when you fit high rise exhaust.
Yes you've guessed I’m an engineer so I’m lucky to be able to do this kind of stuff myself.
The bottom panel if I can remember rghtly is by Pyramid, colour coded plus some nice matching Honda graphics, yes all this to some may seem like a lot of unnecessary work, but I like things to look like they belong there, part of the bike :thumbup: not just something stuck on there like an afterthought :thumbdown:
Having said all this unfortunately I might have to sell this bike because I've got 3 other bikes including a Laguna Seca SP2 and slowely running out of room, :cry: :cry: but we'll see I don't want to sell it so hopefully I'll sort something out.
