    Hello all,

    New to the forum here. Decided to throw up my recently completed project to get some feedback. More pictures will be on the way. And you guys have any questions of what I did, ask away!

    Rob, the 550 is chaindriven. The 650 and 750's were shaft driven. Nice looking bike, Bryan.

    Like the pipes. If they get too loud for you, get 2 drag pipe silencers and some muffler packing material from JCWhitney.com, wrap the silencers and stick them into the ends of your pipes. It will quite them down a little, but will still sound good. I made some homemade mufflers like that, worked great and cost around 25 bucks to make.

    Thank you zombiehouse and Rob!
    Orange-n-Black, the sounds like a good way to go but the noise level of the setup now hasn't bothered me yet. Do you have your muffler build posted?
