Default Exhaust Work

Since it is winter time and i cannot wait to ride again, all i have been doing
is messing around with my bike so i took the exhaust off and gave it a nice
new look instead of the old factory coating that was breaking down and
starting to rust. Just a little time with a wire brush on a grinder made
things a lot better. I will put more picture up with the new coating later.

Utter05:
It's a Corbin seat. It looks ok in the photo, but up close the color doesn't match that well.

redzintimidator:
Yes, it was an amazing 2 weeks. I got so busy on the trip trying to get things worked out, I never finished the post on what happened. I just figured since so much time had passed after we got back, no one would really be interested. Thanks for asking.

Looks nice! How much for a can of that VHT header spray, and where'd you purchase it from?
