Lots of fabrication on that job, have to loose the center stand. Good luck and let us know if you pull it off  :thumb:

chopping and welding not a probelm

but will the exhaust mess up the engine?

and yeah, figured that about the center stand but the bolt holes i figure might be good if i can weld a flang on to the exhaust for mounting

It seems like you would lose some ground clearance in the center for bumps and stuff.  It seems like it would be a lot of work/headache getting the headers to match up :)

It is my opinion, based on absolutely nothing, that the underneath exhaust is the reason the Buells only get about 3k miles (if they're lucky) from rear tires.
