I finished up with a coat of red aircraft poly. Great paint for durability. I added a rear mount to the pipe and machined a nice exhaust stay from aluminum. Everything came together nicely. The modern handlebars are comfortable and the risers keep the bars out of my knees. I machined the risers on my mill after seeing how far I would have to be bent over. The tall seat is nice for my old butt. Now if AHRMA will come up with my number I can install the fields and numbers.
