Wow, a lot of questions since I last logged on. I'll start with this one.

The pipes are Paughco, with bell tips, but you have to modify them for modern bikes because there is no O2 sensor.

The grips are NYC Choppers.

In the 40 miles I have ridden, I have not noticed any difference in stability, handling, or braking. In fact, it rides better than when I last rode it.

The only difference I notice is that my face gets more wet without the fender, but that is a small price to pay for a cool looking bike.

No, it is offset. It had to be because of the upsweeps. I provided that sissy bar myself. Once the bank account gets replenished a little bit, Nick will fabricate a sissy bar for me that does not need to be offset.

great looking bike man...the only thing you ought to consider is making a custom frame cover under your seat and get rid of that ugly stock plastic one. other than that that ride is awesome!
