I posted pics of my engine about a month or so ago and everyone liked the finished product. I just put the final finishes on the lower half of the engine. After breaking in the engine, I had to take the front tin and fan housing back out to fix an oil leak from the oil pump. All finished now so here’s the pics of everything done with 0 leaks now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
Once I get the carbs tuned in, I’ll post a video of the engine running so you all can hear the exhaust. It’s very subtle and quiet at idle, can’t want to hear it ringing out on the pipe!

Where did you get the carbon top covers for the air cleaners, very nice look !

Do you have a secondary support at the muffler outlet to support the exhaust system weight? if not i think your present support will not be adequate and will fatigue in time.
A secondary support would have to allow fore & aft movement due to thermal expansion, so a rubber piece would be in order.

I like the black engine tins, i went with red (my favorite color)
