Thanks, I'm doing as much as I can with my funds and knowledge, I was thinking about black header wrap to chrome shorty mufflers...? What do you think? Or maybe just header wrap and baffles...I found a seat in good condition on ebay and I'll be ordering it asap.

Good to hear about getting the seat issue resolved. The pipes...hmmm. Actually a tough one. For me, chrome under the soft green accented by the rims would be my first choice. But...maybe I'm to much of a traditionalist to see shorty's with wrapped headers or otherwise on the bottom side. What sound do the short pipes put out? Annoyingly loud, or just sorta loud? I'll have to look at the pic's again. I have to admit though, one of the other CA owners on this site had his rims painted white to match the bike and I like it. So...ya never know what'll strike your fancy.

OK Johnny...I see length...chrome and long. Just what type, I don't know. But a thorough search within your $$$ means will pay off I'm sure. Looking forward to your end piece.
