    Off a 2000 Suzuki TL1000R I found at a bone yard. The left side pipe seems like a pricy item where I have seen them. Open to any fabrication ideas.

    Next plan before paint is to clean up and seal up the tail.

    Got the tail all bolted together and trimmed up the diamond plate. Tore it all down and started paint prep. Only got the tail in prime before I quit. The heat today was killer. Back to the 12 hour shifts tomorrow till Friday, then back to the VFR.
