    Cone Engineering

    def find a shop with a mandrel bender and not a pipe kinker if going from scratch on this. Custom tube bending shops are prolly a better option for something like this rather than your local muffler shop:D You could always ask Cone to bend up the headers for you, they do some crazy wild stuff...

    Prolly under $200 with brand new headers which I got bent locally. Hard to say, but the weight savings alone were worth the effort.

    You won't be disappointed:thumbsup: I had their collector and reverse cone and the sound was pure bliss. Huge improvement over the cheap emgo cone that sounded like crap. The weight savings were an added bonus as well:D

    Painting Mags

    hey jt, the wheels were sprayed with auto grade epoxy. They are sooo easy to clean now. I did try the appliance epoxy from HD on my mirrors and it's holding up quite nicely. Still has the shine and isn't chipping. I'm sure it'll work great on your wheels.

    The helmet is great, I use it all year round:D on the sled in the winter and on the bike in summertime:bike: It's going on it's 6th year and is as solid as the first day I got it. Same with the pants, winter/summer use. They're just overpants, not bike specific. They keep the heat and...
