Welcome to our world. I too am curious about those pipes. What handle bars are you using? Looks good to me.

Thanks everyone! I will take my time and hope to avoid any major catastrophes.
The pipes are the aftermarket slip-ons that came on the bike (see pic below)...they were way toooo long and after a few cold ones I decided to bust out the sawzall and hacked 'em off. The result was straight pipes into 4" megaphones and a deep throaty growl that sounded like an offshore boat chewing on the remains of a Harley. I wrapped the headers and pipes in black exhaust wrap - I have since shortened them another 5" to make allow for easy access to the rear wheel and driveline. I can now use a rear wheel stand and the exhaust note it much more pleasing...higher pitched and angry as hell sounding. I will post a video after the gasket job when she isn't smoking like a wet strawpile.
The bars came off some donor in the Sportwheels boneyard (pic also below)...6 acres to play in.
Look forward to picking your brains and expertise,
Cheers,
Chris

Wow! Wish there was a boneyard like that near me.
I could get lost in there for a week or two.
Welcome to the forum, I like your GL..
By the way fella`s I think them are superbike bars, I have a pair I put on my 1100F and didn't like them for some reason, went back to stock.
