I have been making a new seat for the bike.
I have used a a seat from a gixer from the mid 80ths as they are big and easy to modify.

They looks good but I'm thinking about puting a central silencer under the engine and the conect two short exhaust tipps coming out (like yours does) one on each side.

Yup that would work and probably be much quieter but I didnt want to chop my original pipes.
There are baffles fitted in mine which do silence it quite a bit but its still very lous as there is so little length in the pipes.
