Custom pipes finally done!!! 2 Years, 6 Months ago  
Hi guys,
long time no speak, i missed you guys!

The last time we spoke, i was looking for someone to build me a custom set of pipes, which never happened, just too expensive $$$. Some of you actually suggested the idea of using my original pipes
and adding slipons... and that's exactly what i did. I took my original pipes cut them down to size, removed the heat shields, wrapped them up and slipped on some Supertrapps and voila! I know you chrome lovers won't like them but you have to admit, they are different, right?

Next up:
Forward controls,
Rear fender mod,
Front fender (Baron),
Head light,
6 degree rake.

Speaking of trees, can i use Baron tress and still keep my tins?
Are they any trees available that will let me keep my tins or will i have to make them fit?

Thanks

Doc has raked trees with tins, but I don't know what he all had to do for them to work.

I do mine a really weird way but it works for me (paste picture into word with page zoom at 77%, print screen and paste into paint, crop the picture and then save it). Have you tried using the picture shrinking site in this article?

Rick's trees at Raked Cycles are the only ones I have found that will allow you to keep your stock tins & lights.
