I do have a very small nit to pick though.... Why didn't you cut off the original exhaust mount rings from the passenger pegs when you did this install and polish the areas that were cut off? :-)
When I take long trips I put my low pipes on so that I can use my saddle bags. It is a 10 minute change. It's hard to "nit pick" when they still have purpose.

I powder-coated the original clamps and continue to use them because they too match my stock low pipes. The stock clamps are very strong and functional too.
Thanks for pointing out the obvious guys but I do have reasons for for why I do things. You guys crack me up!

a perfectionist then would have 2 different pairs of clamps and footrests
(does powdercoating resist that heat ?!)

Come on!! These are not the obvious! We are really paying attention (not being critical at all) and just getting a better understanding of your work and passion. I love the way it looks and works. Are you interested in making more?

I also have a red 907 I.E (1991) where I live...in Argentina (south america)...but I don´t have those mufflers..in fact...do you know where (in the states) could I buy a new exhaust system? But I need just to take mine away and install new...I can´t make any changes...I don´t really know how...and noneone here has the " courage" to do it...maybe Akrapovic...or Two Brothers...or Termignoni...don´t know...a known brand has a special kit specially for this bike...someone told me that Two Brothers has built one...but I think they don´t produce it anymore...
Also...do you hve some information about what happens if I install xenon light? Also...do you know how to install Garmin Zumo on it?
I will appreciate any help you could give me!
See you!

yes, the two brothers website used to list an exhaust system for the 907, with several different exhaust can options(titanium, aluminum, carbon fiber)as well as two sizes(diameters) of the cans.
but it seems as if they now only do the latest models?
maybe if they were called up , they would hve something? i dont know?
if i could i would like to have the pipes that DonaldoDuck made up(very pretty and well made looking)
with the arrow cans as on Tom444's bike(i could probably find those , but i dont have the time nor tools/shop to put together the pipes like DonaldoDuck has fabricated)
very well done , both of you!!!!
