Default My Project thus far...I want your opinions plz

Hey everybody this is my first bike and im having a blast with it. I can't believe that I waited until I was 28 to get a bike. Here are some pics of it and I want your thoughts on what else I should do to it. This is my first time ever really fixing up any vehicle and it's been a big challenge. Im only about $1,600 into this bike and the title is clean and the bike has 30k miles. Runs great but needs a few small items. Inner cowl's, new fan sensor, and a few other things. Thanks for your advice.

he's being literal... it'll make your exhaust a lot shorter, better looking, and louder.

i have inner cowls if you need them. PM me, and we can work something out.

I think it looks great! How long did it take you?

Cutting the pipe makes a huge difference. Even though mine is undertail, I have thought of doing the same to mine. Just affraid of losing my low rumble.

Thanks bro, it took me about 3 months of piecing it together. Still have some things to do tho.
