Almost finished:




I was aiming for a kind of flat-tracker/hill-climber/supermotard look, while maintaining a standard-ish/period appearance as well.

The exhaust modifications were intended to reduce noise and appear to have been at least partially successful.

Looks great James (-P)

Don´t really understand whats going on with the exhaust pipe though... perhaps a bit of the pipes efficiency goes lost with that layout?
Nevertheless, think the bike looks great!

John Dixon did extensive testing and determined that there was no loss in efficiency.

:) Thanks - in this case, 'unconventional' equals slightly less noisy, so it is a definite improvement! I'll see how it works out in the longer term.

:) Yes, I had seen the Afterburner before in another advert:



I'm not sure why the idea never caught on - anyone know anything more about the history of these pipes?
