that's a 2:1 exhaust?

i think it would look better (not that it looks bad at all, in fact kick ass) if you would shorten the connecting pipe and lower it a bunch so it's less shooting in the air.

why do  you use the lower fender on the rear?

That lower fender was stock on this bike
But it  was a ugly plastic on
when i cut the upper fender , i used the piece that i cut of to make the lower fender cf

And about the angle , yes it's a bit high
Maybe i will try something else , but than i will have to cut up the link pipe , and i am so proud of my first Tig weld ;D

So, again, is that a 2:1 header?

I have not seen one on a monster of that type.

Is it custom?

Curious, what bike was the end can originally from? What was the I.D. at the inlet?

Think it was a Yam R6 2002 or so 52mm inlet

it looks great, but I loved the S3 arrow! it looked classic on your bike.

Did some cleaning up
Headlamp a bit to the frame
Breaklines behind the headlight
Rizoma grips Celli style
Lowered the Motogadget and bit closer to the triple
New place for the TT
And the fluidcanasters on the masters
