Not perfect, header chrome is still pretty chewed up, but good enough for who it's for. If/When I get the bike running properly and road-worthy, I may look at an aftermarket exhaust.

Well that looks terrific to me. How much longer before you crank it up..or have you done it already? I would like to hear it, even if for just a few seconds.

I have started it and it runs like shit due to the carbs being WAY out of adjustment after rebuilding them and replacing the air filters. Next warm-ish day I'll start dialing them in, but need to be able to open the doors so I don't get gassed...

I did a brief video right after I got it to make sure it ran before putting any effort into it, but the audio on my phone is horrible. I'll set up the good camera and take a video once I get it tuned somewhere near right.
