:thumbup:Well I bent up a exhaust and have a issue. My tube bender has a 3" radius on bends so the pipe sticks out where it exits the head and then tucks under the seat. I am covering it with fiberglass header covering but it will still be hot. Any ideas?? Have a TQ belt on order and then should be able to test it. Need to install TQ make a cover and chainguard and paint the tank and engine shroud, wire it and that should be it.
Finally got to paint the tank and engine shroud. Use a red color that was called candy apple red but that was just the shade of the red. Put the red basecoat on then masked and painted a black stripe down the middle of the tank and then before clearcoats used gold striping tape between black stripe and the red. Then I tried using a special pearl intercoat clear with some gold pearl, then the clearcoats. I have never used pearl before and did not realize it changes the color depending on how much pearl you use and the pearl color. Anyway It changed the red to kind of a red-orange but it really glistens in the sunlight, and the gold over the black is really cool looking. Cant wait to finish this thing. I made up a chain guard and could not use the Rupp converter cover as it was too long and the tav 30 center hub is wider than the depression in the cover. I sound up using the rupp Tav 2 cover.
