Check the weld on the end of the pipe where it mates with the silencer. My Bud pipe for my ‘96 wasn’t welded all the way and was making a mess of the frame and shock. Nice build by the way.

Thank you! I had that issue with a dpr on my 96. So far this one seems to fit a touch better , not as trick as the cone pipe look . Ive used the but racing silencers before and really like the bark but wish it tucked up higher like the PC on yours

I’m definitely a fan of the pc silencer look and sound. I haven’t used one of the Bud silencers before but the carbon one looks rad. I dig the gold wheel look you have goin, something about gold wheels just seems so cool.

Nice! When I go to Bro, I usually bring one of my 90”s bikes… It’s a good track for the older bikes…
