Looking to test the waters here. If I made some custom glasspack exhausts would anyone be interested in one? Price point would be $225. They would have a 3" or 3.5" outlet on them.

Here's how my bike sounds idling. It really starts to sound like a Harley up over 3200 RPMs. No need for hearing aids with this thing.

IMHO
I would never pay $225 for those welds and running paint. It looks like you used a paint roller.
Now if you had cleaner welds with less slag and took your timing painting with a high-temp paint (that gloss is going to fade and flake), then I might be interested.

I don't have anyone crawling under my bike and judging welds, so I might be as long as there is a warmly to keep the chin fairing.

It's not about what others think...it's about what I think and I think that glasspack is ugly. Look at Dean Adams' welds. That, I would pay full price for, if I had the money.

I like it, but I would want the VHT black paint, with primer underneath. Also, looks like you used the Jardine mounts. Would you be providing those parts, or is that extra?

@jetlee, sounds like you wouldn't want to buy one anyway. But I'm not very happy with the paint job either, I rushed and just used what I had laying around. This was my first attempt and it went on my own bike to test it out.
The welds can be cleaned up some more, but probably still won't look like a factory job. I didn't think it was that bad, but I'm not a master welder.
@jstav, I will definitely be using better paint, that was just some mid-gloss paint I had laying around.
I didn't realize those brackets were part of the Jardine kit, mine came installed on my bike. I will check into how to include the fairing mounting parts as well.

Should put up a video of how it sounds.
Nevermind I see you do.
