This is just beautiful. Was searching for inspiration having bought a 1981 GL1100 with the wisp of an idea of what I wanted to do.....and then I saw this. Fab job.

Is there a build thread on this Bulldog Bobber? It was and is my inspiration for my build.

That is a beauty!... I especially like the exhaust. Did you make them? They inspired me to take on a task.The reason I ask is I bought some Jardines for a 76 GL1000 that a guy cut off. (He left about 8 inches-20cm of the 3 inch exhaust with no baffles). I would like to be able to make these unless there are premade baffles that will fit. I thought of welding 7 steel pipes and plugging 3( ? ) to get enough back pressure. Then have them porcelain coated, wrap them for a snug fit and bolt them with stainless steel bolts from the inside. Do you think this will work? Any input is appreciated.
