Where did you source the exhaust mounts from?

The exhaust hangers are old Two Brothers mounts.....another bit that can be tough to find anymore

Looking good Mr Hawk.
One of the nicest VTRs I have seen.

More stickers for today..... the old exhaust sticks kind of gave up while cleaning the cans this time
So after a bit of a search I was able to find some 20cm old style Akra sticks with the HRC tag
Looking a bit better, though getting all the old sticker residue off was a pain.
and yes I did both sides.....lol

Now to figure out what to do with the next bit.....
While not hard to find, Gilles wants an outrageous amount for a heal protector.....
For this little bit they want right around $100 us.
Now if it was really carbon maybe but as you can tell from the bit I have worn through it is just fiberglass with a layer of carbon on top.

Well getting Ol' Blue (the dodge 4X4) running to a bit longer than expected...and truck part are a bit more than bike bits....$1400 for a set of tire was an eye opener....lol
but now is time to get back to this project.
A few things have shown up in the post lately.....
a couple of weld on -6 fittings
and the little box....which was deceptively small for how much it cost....lol
but when opened has all the bits needed to completely refresh a set of heads....it has everything except buckets,spring seats & retainers
Another box should show up tomorrow with a bunch more stuff but the part I'm waiting on is a new set of isolators so I can finish porting this set of heads before sending them in..... I guess it's time to actually pull the bike apart
