Pipes are wrapped in exhaust tape. My buddy makes chain mail. Riding it is like wearing iron mans suit but not really knowing how to control it.
When I built it in 2001 I was like FTW. Now I'm like give peace a chance.

Nice pan man! Original or S&S? Beautiful bike. Mine is a '58 ironhead rat. I felt like Dr Frankenstein when it actually fired up. Mag powered no battery. Bought the engine from a guy who found it in a building he bought. A truck wash on the outskirts of the city. Took me 2 years. And nearly cost me my young marriage!

Man I'd love to hear that story. It's a labor of love for sure. Wish I had the same time to commit that I used to. Someday. I'll be back.
