Okay, I'm gonna just go out and say this bluntly.
That exhaust pipe set up looks like shit.
Everything else looks clean, but that abomination of a muffler system completely jacks up the lines of the bike.
 
Wow there's some really nice builds here and would definitely like to see in person. I finished a build late last year and have been trying to find some vintage bike group rides/meets in the bay area but it's slim at best. Looks like there's enough guys here.:thumbup

Blew apart an '82 virago craigslist special then spent a year designing a custom build cafe. I won't bore you with the details here (as there's a year of them) but I'll share the before/after pics for fun.

Just joined BARF and thought I'd share a before/after shot of my 1979 CX500. I bought this thing back in Michigan and spent a year working on it at our local Techshop - everything from frame and exhaust modifications to sewing up the seat on the industrial sewing machines. Still need to clean up a few things and paint some parts. And get a proper photo of the bike somewhere cool in SF...

Austin MotoGP round this season ... :thumbup

Someone please help, I can't stop looking at these posts...
say on, methinks I perceive the very manifestations of an awkward tumescence. the 500Four is a kerb assassin - soooooo tasteful. lovely, lovely work, gentlepersons. well done.
 
Bultaco Mercurio Model 9

Hey ya'll, Here are some before and after pics of my '64 Bultaco Mercurio. It's a 175 cc 2-stroke and it's been a lot of fun around town. It's my first motorcycle, and now that I finished it...it's a little bittersweet. I'm glad it's done but now I need something else to work on. :rolleyes



 
Looks awesome! Welcome to barf too!
 
Heres a few of my restorations, I have a garage full of smokers, no diesels :p

This one took 4 months, Paint slowed me down...
