Re: Vintage Speed
I installed one of their exhausts onto Stutz's single cab. Beautiful piece of kit and easy to fit. It needed the mustache bar clearanced a bit, but other than that it really is nice.

Re: Vintage Speed
As TonyZ said, I have one on my SC bay bus and it's really very well built and solid. I had mine ceramic coated but that was probably a bit of overkill. Not cheap after duties and shipping but when the rest of the bus has rusted into a pile of dust the exhaust will still be good for another hundred years.

Was the ceramic coating done locally or by Vintage speed?

Staying Aircooled is so much nicer.

Re: Vintage Speed
Agreed! Maybe it's time for a thread in Other Marques about forum members' two-wheelers.Drusky wrote:Hold on now! Please don't mention your airhead cafe racer without posting a pic. That's just cruel!
I have two airheads and I've been toying with the idea of making a cafe racer out of the R65 ...

Re: Vintage Speed
No need for Eben to be involved. I'll start the thread as soon as I locate some pics of my bikes. Or someone else can start it if they have pics to post before me.
