    Looks great! What brand / color is that gold? Why not have them powder coated?

    I didn't powder coat them because I read powder coated parts hold heat. Ehhh?!? Dunno?

    Thanks, the spray paint is vht engine metallic sp402 burnt copper. It looks better in person.

    I'm having a hard time installing the exhaust collector. Today I finished with the engine install and lots of other bits.

    Looks like you're making good head way. Yeah, the scratched side covers is another reason why I strip the bike completely, leave the exhaust on and just lift the frame off and then nestle the frame down around the motor on install. SOOO easy with one person that way. I never use a jack any more. If the motor has to come out that badly, it's worth the strip to freshen everything up as well IMO. Keep at it, you'll have it done in no time.

    The "yosh headers"? They look homemade.
