XL185 exhaust-ing progress...

When I got the XL the tailpipe was completely broken off the muffler. Being low on funds and wanting a challenge I decided to try and make my own.

 I cut a piece from an old CB500 exhaust I had in the shop and tacked it to the muffler.

 I then cut some sheet metal pieces to form around the pipe to attach to the muffler. This is basically how it was originally.

 I still have to do some finish welding and some final grinding but everything is solid and almost ready for painting. I guess not bad and the price was right. Just some time and recycled metal that I already had.
