Just when the highway straightened out for a mile
And I was thinkin' I'd just cruise for a while
A fork in the road brought a new episode
Don't you know...

Better to be judged by 12, then carried by 6.

yes, a single cobra pipe.  $140....only one got damaged.  The Honda Dealer thought I should buy a whole new exhaust system for both sides $1700.  Ya right

oh, no no needing any other parts....as soon as two more pieces show up the bike will be back together better than before.....but, thanks

Ya, and they are pretty easy to install.  Make sure you screw the one in that threads and locks before you run it through the frame......dont ask how I learned that

OK, Im still waiting on the timing cover and left crash bar, but all the rest of the restoration is complete.  The main areas that took the hit were the windshild...handlebar and right side controls...and the right side of the engine (valve cover,crash bar and hiway peg)  Id say it was a successful operation:

Nice work she looks so good. If it's not a secret how do you keep the engine cases looking so new ?

Its not a secret...at our local Dollar General they sell a product called Mean Green.  It really cleans those cases up great.....every couple months a few squirts and little trickle of water from the hose and all the cracks and crevasis get sparkly

Thanks, I have some of that I bought this fall. Never tried it but will now.

Oops mine is Simple Green. I'll have to look for some.

Yes...simple green will work on the painted surfaces, but dont let it get on chrome or aluminum.  The Mean Green is more friendly on all surfaces
