Here are some photos of my bike as it sits right now. I added a secondary muffler (about $20 in parts). I was going back and forth about which big dollar one to get, and at the end of the day I bought a $6 briggs and stratton muffler. The reality of it is that much of the engine noise is coming from places OTHER than the exhaust. This setup DOES kill that little "crackle" though, and doesn't seem to affect performance much if at all. You'll see the "pet screen" that I put on the back to hide the engine from the rear view. Also in these pictures that weren't in the last ones are the new pedals, seat, and bar end mirror. I rolled up to a stop sign just a few minutes ago and a cop was coming the other way (with his windows open) and he didn't even hear me, or "see" me. He SAW me, but he didn't SEE my engine, etc. Here's how it looks:

Let me know what you guys think! The elbow coming out of the engine is NOT twisted at all...just looks that way from the blob of brazing rod that melted on there before the metal was hot enough to be brazed...DOH!
