Goin' Commando....
I picked up the EMGO Commando pipes from Amazon a while back. Cheaper than Mikes and free shipping to boot. The quality of the pipes is about what I expected. Time will tell.... The hanger brackets that came with 'em are definitely sketchy.... not up to my standards anyway. Time to make some better ones. Used some wood and tape to hang the pipe about where I wanted it... and grabbed the cardboard.

On the frame, I picked up the exhaust stud as well as the rear peg stud. From there it tapers aft to the pipe mount, and forward to the exhaust manifold clamp. Transferred that to some plywood...
