Just a start mind.
I expect it's what the Frenchies call "sub-tle".
Now to do something about the headlight.
Hmm...rear tire's gettin' a bit flat in the center too.

How do you get away riding around with a blank tag like that?

OK, you cut-off the footpegs, now you need to trim that rear fender!
Looks good!

Very nice..It looks great without the rear footpegs...and the can looks good also...
But I'd be a bit worried that with vibration and with no exhaust bracket it might cause it to break ot crack where it mounts to the cat.
Thanks for the pics.

Easy!
Just don't register the bike.
Which is OK since they won't let me have a license either while I'm still on meds and probation.

Yup, the fender is on the list.

Not to worry DJ.
That can's light as a feather with nowt inside but a straight tube! And even if the CAT ever did crack I'll just TIG it closed & done.
Belt & suspenders; I also welded a small tab to the frame to fasten a stay in the future if I want something else.
I've got a Staintune collector gathering dust ....but other ideas as well.

That explains why no one wants to ride with you!

Greybeard,
Now you have one last thing to do:
Find a luggage plate/rear seat replacement (that gray plastic thing) and chuck that redundant rear seat.
Or else some lost soul may think you can give them a lift
Cheers

Very slick and clean! Nice job on the pipe. I would only suggest a one-piece (maybe a corbin) to smooth out the lines. Keep posting!

Well now, maybe you guys can help me!
I swear I saw an actual seat cowl for the rear but maybe I was on a European site.
I apparently dummied up and didn't add the site to favorites.
Does anyone know?

sorry - can't offer any ideas about where to buy, at least not in the USA ...
I got my plate from the dealer ... that would be my best bet ... try from them.
