I like the pipes, nice curves and the way they fit the engine and follow the frame on the bottom. Nice job on the tape too

I think that's damn good... I don't think my first attempt would look that good. Constructive suggestion tho, I'd try to make the rear cylinder header bend inward a little tighter. I know it gets real tough when the bends get that tight.

Nice job on the pipes, looks like you paid particular attention to keeping the radius lines consistent, there's a real art to that.

Well done.
