Thanks. Now what do you do when you need a muffler and all you have lying around is a crash damaged Yosh...You go to town with the cutting wheel and a tape measure and voila, new shorty 11'' Yoshimura RS-3 tailor made for my TT500. A set of good shocks can't hurt while I'm there ( Thanks Jim Kots for the donation... :D ). This thing is coming along on the cheap very nicely... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Have a nice set of Progressives on the way from Quebec, care of Roger Belanger. Finished mocking up the pipe, just need to start welding. Tires also on the way. Not much to report really, will post pics of the mid pipe and brackets this weekend. Cheers.

Progress!!! Finished the mid-pipe and exhaust...Made the Tach bracket and might run the original side panels. Not as number plates, but maybe a nice spot for sponsor stickers. Maybe I could even find someone time sponsor MidProd!!! Cheers, Brian.

Not the seat I'm using, just wanted to see some leather where the seat goes. Won't have mine back for a while...
