Late Christmas? Early birthday? I'm stoked either way as there was a delivery to my house today.

That is a sexy looking exhaust!  Years ago my brother in law had a Hindle on his VFR750 and it sounded great.  (He's a fan of some other brand of motorcycle)

Looks really nice - but maybe a bit loud ;)
I really wanted to get one for my restomod but didn't think it would pass the test. Definitely a bit jealous!

A really nice exhaust. Saw them at a motorcycle show in Toronto a few years back. Impressive.

Also a timely purchase before the tarrifs went on.

looking forward to installed pics.

Enjoy

Is there a company out there still making aftermarket side panels for the 1981 - 1982 LTD 1000?

Well, ok. I found one. I sure was hoping for a less pricey option. Like Wookie58 I am not completely satisfied with the fit of the one factory part I have, so I was thinking about lightly modifying a pair of aftermarket ones. I'd rather not chop up a genuine set, but I was also hoping not to start with a $180 bill.

Perhaps that is a security feature
