Well, I got the hughs PMA, pamco ignition ordered, a carb rebuild kit on its way. Extra swingarm purchased and in hand to cut up. The bike is stripped down currently to just the frame and the engine. Next nice day, dropping the engine and cleaning EVERYTHING and replacing all the engine seals. Putting it back together as is with the stock frame, hughs and pamco to ride thru the summer and then do my frame mods this winter. Paint scheme so far will be cream metal flake frame and brown tones, would like to do brass hardware and I have a neat-o copper thing i found in my barn im going to use as an electrics box. Mocking it up in software first as I am a 3D graphics designer by trade. Possibilities are endless at this point.
The bike was a stock 83 xs650 Heritage Special.
I'm working on planning my exhaust setup currently, I was looking at Gordon Scott pipes with a wrap as two different ones he has caught my eye. Curved drag, and the hi-pipes. I was hoping to run uni filters and an open exhaust.
My question is if anyone had any noise issues regarding the 5-0 and getting pulled over in Ohio due to excessive noise running straight pipes? During the summer I'll be riding the bike pretty frequently with friends and dont feel like getting pulled over every other ride.
