thx netty2424..............that was my intension.......the XB is beautiful....I just tried to refine it a little bit more......Erik's work has always been watered down by the company cost controllers that did not allow him use better components and to spend more maschine time on the bikes....

Nice work on the girlfriend's bike! [up][up]
Keep us updated on the other project bike you are working on! That sounds like it is going to be a bad ass ride! Twin Akras on a V-Twin!?!? :drool: I want to hear that!! Please get a video of that when you get it all together and fire it up!

thx for your kind comments and interest. I will keep you guys updated...............OK.......once we got the new leathers for the misses I will post a picture..........can't do it without can I................I very much hope that damm snow will disappear soon so we can take her out.
Regarding the exhaust system that I am currently finishing........total weight (headers/brackets/silencers) is 4.5 kg.............here are a few more pics.
The tricky bit was the sourcing of the parts..........der header flanges are made from stainless steel and water cut titanum........the silencer bracket was contructed from scratch and milled from 7075 Alu by my mate Tom......the brackets are stock carbon ones that have been joined with a special heat resitant resign by another friend on mine who builds small planes to stop the silencers from wobbeling.....titanium Akrapovic cans.......the headers are from Exan (Italien company) they kindly altered the design with almost no additional cost, which I am greatful for, and then the headers have been modified to fit with the Akrapovic silencers by a swiss guy who has a special interst in building exhaust systems for historic bikes (just the right guy for the Buell). Two additional Lamba ports to help us with the engine mapping........

The work space is part of my best mates Tom workshop........he builds plastic injection molds for a living...he lets me use his space....I am totally indebted to him......I have an idea........we talk about it.......when there is spare time we sit down and develop it.......the magic moment comes when the mill spits about what was just in our heads a few hours earlier. I love watching him when he operates the maschine console...........he is like a pianist.........the only difference is the sound of his concert......the sweet noise of metal being shaped ......we have been working together for 8 years on various bits for the Buell.
