Looks better without the Hole-y heatshields.

Bone... you mean with the all silver no heat shield pipes? I admit, it looked good that way.

Yeah it did look nice. Remember back in the begining of this thread I thought about doing the silver/black combo... opposite of what I did with the pipes. So that the end result was different. Oh well...

Thanks. I'm going to fix one thing that is buggin me. The muffler clamps. Going to have those high temp black powdered this coming week, same as the heat shields & muffler. Can't stand looking at them!

So due to an error I had these raw metal muffler clamps showing thru the last holes...

Front:

Rear:

Well I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so that wasn't going to fly... 2 new muffler clamps coated with the same high temp powder the heat shields & mufflers were done with.

Front:

Rear:

Now I feel a bit better about it. Plus the new pipe/muffler setup draws more attention to that area and the weather/water was bound to start rusting the old raw metal clamp anyway.

Well the old setup just didn't have that "finished look" to it and you should all know me by now...

Remove the old coil setup

Remove the key in its bracket

Setup the new DK custom coil relocation mount

Pull my old backbone wire loom apart to fish the wires backward to where needed.

Get the DK Six Shooter key relocation mounted

The results

Now it looks 100%.

I admire your work but I'm not into it.

Gas Man · 04-13-2011, 09:27 PM

I understand....

I think what bothers me is the tank. It looks strange.
