Not the best pic, I'll get another one later on. Was up almost all night with it.

J6G1Z:
Is it just the end cap that is stainless?

There should be no problem with retaining the passenger peg. If I recall correctly, the muffler support strap bolts to the back of the peg mount. I had to put a bit of a twist in the support strap to mate up correctly.

The clamp, strap and end cap are actually chrome dipped but made from stainless before being dipped I'm not sure .... i had to twist the bracket a little too it was the only way to get it to sit flat. I didn't remove the peg to put the bracket behind it, i found myself within reach of another bolt. The stock muffler has that plate with those notch marks to place the peg in the correct position. I un-bolted the 2 nuts from the backside of the bracket completely leaving the peg alone and how it's supposed to be. I very lightly and with little to no effort pry'd the muffler and the bracket away from eachother to clear the studs on the muffler that go through the bracket. Yes, for now there is the stock bracket there with nothing on it but I'm going to mark the position of it so i can cut that same groove design into section of the frame that the peg bolts to. She's almost done and back together, entire brake system is all rebuilt front to back, valve lash has been set and inspection covers have new seals. And that's about all for today's to do list. Waiting on the shift shaft oil seal and then the engine will be 110%, my neutral indicator didn't work and exactly why i thought so. The PO bent the hell out of the ground tab that comes in contact with the switch, good thing i had a spare it was too bent up to try and shape it back. Reason I'm waiting on a new seal is cause he also installed it backwards. ..... ??? :( :P and that seal is no good cause of such

WTF304:
A closer, yet a little blurry look but you'll see what I'm talking about.

WTF304:
A few shots now that she's back together, minus the new tires on and the forks have yet to be done aswell. That emgo muffler looks nice but i had no idea it would be as loud as it is, but still sounds real good.
