Is that literally the stock exhaust just with the tips welded on because it sounds great. I didnt realize that cross-flow connector piece could come off and haven't been brave enough to chop on my exhaust yet. Yours is the 650 right? If so I definitely have to copy your setup and get to working on mine this weekend because I'm tired of sounding like a scooter.
I also did a lot of research on dishing my tank. The oval sticker lines on the tank are the perfect template. Some people obviously cut the shape and then flip the sifes and weld them back in. My plan was to get a soft mallet and pound it out. I tried it on a spare sporty tank and it came out great but ultimately decided not to do it on the Star to get max fuel capacity. My advice if you go through with it from my trial and error on the sporty tank, start in the center and work your way out in circles with light taps, this eliminates the chance of you creasing it if you get too far ahead of yourself and then have to go back and pound out a section that didn't get a good pass the first run. Drink a protein shake and have a Gatorade ready, this WILL be your workout for the day.
Watching this build closely, bike looks good so far man we are close to being twins.
