Triumph Scrambler style build

I talked to him at one time about a set of scrambler high pipes for my cafe bike, but decided to stay with the lower set for the look. He definately does good work!! The other options are spendy. Omars sells one one called the Mile exhaust, but it wouldn't fit my 73.

Ive seen Omars pipe, but im pretty sure Scotts glass packs are the way to go... they just look like the factory scrambler pipes.

I had seen that exhaust before, but I never really considered it till I saw this:

In ceramic, that looks hawt! Looks a lot like the D&D pipe for the Triumph Scrambler:

So now, I dont know... I guess we are lucky to have too many options.
 
Installed my Fishhead "big" brake kit today... the master cylinder is garbage and needs to be rebuilt... so Ive got my original one on the bike(takes a crap load of fist to work the front brake). If anyone is looking at these kits, know that the price does not include a proper front brake line, I also had to shorten bolts/supply my own hardware to fit everything. The rear fender support will not fit without modification, I plan on fixing that another day(will powdercoat the adapter bracket as well). Also installed my bar end mirrors today($25 ebay ones). Anyways, heres some pics...

Oh, and I desperately want an exhaust, so if anyone is wanting to sell an upswept(omars, jemco or scotts) exhaust system, please let me know!
 
Painting over chrome - Scuff well with a orbial sander 120 and down. Paint with adhesion promotoer and paint. It will hold well and not an excessive amount o work.
 
I thought about sanding it when I did my parts, but I have access to a sand blaster with aluminum oxide media... works very well just time consuming.
 
ya the sandblast option is way nicer IMO and unlike a sander, which has a tendency of "flattening" areas. Just make sure you aren't blasting in a particular spot for to long due to excessive heat from contact. I use glass media also. Ive even used it to sandblast some Harley fender struts (there made of real cheap thin chrome metal) and had good luck, but just being careful to hold gun adequate distance and not blasting to long in one spot.

Fancycatsup: Like I posted earlier man, the bike looks awesome and I like the fact your powdering everything. I'm in the works of building a steel 3' deep, 6' long, 4' high over, so like looking at how you've done parts. But ya you def need some pipes. My vote goes with the mid pipes tho.

This is crazy man, I've been building my bike in the exact same style for months now. I even have the headlight rock guard and took a self-shot photo identical to yours when you were painting your gas tank. I guess there's really nothing new under the sun...but that's a hot bike.
