Got this email from Oldsquid yesterday, with pics. I hope he doesn't mind me posting them. There is now room for a hugger also.

Okay maties, here's pics of the final design. Actually, I've ordered some different bends for the tail piece so it will eliminate one more weld on each side, but the shape is set.

There were a number of small changes that you wouldn't notice, but one you may recognize is that the vertical section of the mid-pipe now tucks into the swing arm much tighter and runs more straight up. It looks much more like it belongs now. When it was at more of an angle and farther back it looked just a little forced. That change necessitated moving the O2 sensor up next to the shock. Now you really can't see it.

That is the Triumph hugger. I have the same one.

Good fit and does not catch the eye.

Yes, that is the Triumph hugger. It is pretty sturdy. Since I've removed mine I've noticed a lot more dirt on the shock and tail.
I'm really looking forward to this half system!
