looks so awsome dude....from my point of looking at it though, it would look sick if u got the money to put an aftermarket exhaust and duel dominator headlights.... maybe i just have an odd sense of what would look cool though

 Yeah, it's looking awesome, but it might look a little better if you could do something about the exhaust. I know there aren't many under frame exhausts, but you might want to look into maybe a 2 into 1 or just dual pipes.

The exhaust is definitely the next big purchase I'm looking to make. I have no idea way I would go with and any suggestions are welcome. I have been thinking of maybe getting some exhaust wrap and wrapping it up.

As far as the headlight I have some plans for that

Hi....well done,its coming on fine. When I did my cafe racer theme, I cut off all the brackets including the pillion foot pegs for a cleaner look. The photos are under HORNET6 BUILD. Cheers

By the way. Once  You cut off the exhaust,you will save a load of weight.....the muffler is really heavy.

It looks very clean I may have to do that. Doesn't the right side hold up the muffler though? How did you re-hang it?

I made my own small stainless bracket that mounts from the main exhaust tube to the footrest. The aftermarket can,is so small and light,that it does'nt need any other support once its clamped tight on the exhaust tube.

I will definitely have to work on the exhaust next. While waiting on the turn signals and welding, I did a little more work.

I replaced the foam padding in the seat with something more comfortable. Then had a hi/low HID kit installed by a guy I know who owns a shop down the road. Would have been cheaper to do it myself but it came with installation and a lifetime bulb and ballast warranty.

I know I was pleasantly surprised myself. I'll just have to adjust the height to make sure I'm not blinding anyone
