Mods Rockers Connecticut

Rode with a few friends down to connecticut a few weekends ago.  Awesome ride... put a good 300 miles that day.  Tons of cool scoots and motobikes.  Even got to take a ferry ride across a river... i guess its cheaper than a bridge?

79 XS 650

 Well I decided that the 2into1 exhaust I had on my Yamaha xs650 were too quiet.  It felt like the bike was making decent power with them, but the power was all at the top end.  I decided to buy a diy kit of pipe bends and flanges and make my own high pipes, as most systems you can buy like this cost almost 500 bucks... this was 75.

 Cut, weld, fit, cut weld, fit.

 Got the pipes all tacked up and fit pretty damn well.  Also made a quick bracket for my new headlight.  Got rid of those fork tube clamps!  Much cleaner. 

Blurry finished for the night pic.  Still have to shorten the pipes some and make some aluminum exhaust tips for them.  Right now the pipes will cook my rear shock... Which may not be a bad thing because they are stiff as hell... Im also gonna have to baffle these things... they are LOUD>

New additions to the shop...

 My neighbors moved out and left a note to take anything they left behind... Got this sweet chair that Grimace quickly claimed as his. 

Also got 6 decent theater seats... Gonna have to have a movie night or something soon...

 My friend Steve's 650 bonneville.  Very clean...

 Another sweet bike that was at a Brit show a few weeks ago.  Tons of very nice detail work on this bike...

Sweet TA that was in the parking lot at the Brit Show...
