That's a great result, well worth the effort :grin:

Can l ask about the fork boots, were they genuine or come off a later model ?

I had to send out the muffler today, to weld on a short elbow on the DG Silencer. To shoot down and away the exhaust. It was blowing towards the new fender, leaving it dark. Can't wait because I want to run it more and tune it in. Sounds good though. I'm going to leave it this way, since I don't have an original style, plus most people put an aftermarket one on anyway.

But by the way, it's for sale
