    Looks like a nice "work in progress". What kind of mufflers are those, Harley?

    I wouldn't drill in to the frame for those rivets, that will promote rust.

    Thank you!:)
    The mufflers are from Ebay, search: Universal mufflers. They are pretty loud.

    Lesson learned;) This is my first project bike, and i have learned a great deal.

    And NOT drill in to the fram is one of them.

    Next time you take those side covers off, dab a bit of window/door silicone on them before you stick 'em back on. Should be a pretty good preventative rust measure. Nice looking ride!!

    Nice, I want to do something like this with mine. Any tips on chopping the rear fender and making those side panels?
