They look like "Jolly" 2 -stroke cans.
3 stacked on each side? Undertail? ... should be interesting.

Very nice, Mike. What headers are you using? Will you do a true 6 into 6 or will you have a collector?

I will probably hire you to make a 6 into 6 for my BMW K1600... :think: 8) :D

You know, Mike, it's about time you got your sorry butt in gear. I mean, some of us were beginning to lose any hope at all of ever seeing this mod. :D
Though, as it seems you and I (at least ) will get to enjoy another bloody snowfall ( 10cm.) this weekend,it might just be that you've a bit more time to 'git er done' :lol:

Thanks all, life has been well... life, I started a new job just over 2 years ago and my schedule doesn't leave much spare time, children getting married, grand kids, I'm sure many of you know how life changes as we get older! I'm making my own headers and will post more pix!-Mike

Mike baby, you've got some talent! Even if I had access to the tools that you're using, I couldn't hope to pull off what you're doing. Impressive stuff 8)
Barry, Montreal, really? What would bring you here?

Thanks Mike, I'm sure if you had the access to Uncle Ron's shop and his assistance you would be turning out some wild stuff of you're own! I used to live 10 minutes away from there but currently I'm and hour and 10 minutes away. This project has had quite a learning curve, I really thought it would be completed by now!
