Nice bike Andy! Is your son going to ride it?

Nice update again!
Does drilling the hubs not weaken them, or do they have enough meat?

Looks nice again Dan!

Did you mount that GPR header already an a bike? Curious to see how high it sits. I have a stainless header on my 3AJ but it’s quite close to the fuel petcock.

Thanks! I have a stainless steel header on my 3AJ, but where the 2 downpipe connect is a bit close to the fuel petcock, so I possibly want a different one.

You said in advance that they were not OEM, and I did not expect ...

I have them on my XTZ750 and while they're cheap, they are also too weak for the side panels, which you take of regularly. I don't know if I would buy them again, because they stopped responding to my emails as well. If you buy them for the XTZ750, get some OEM sidepanels to go with the rest (which ...

No probs :) It would have been nice to have, but I have all the info I need to work on my 3AJ :)

Cheers,
