Looks fantastic! I can see you have put a LOT of hard work into it and the results are worth it. I particularly like the electronics you have added, very cool.
I too noticed that the finish on the Higgspeeds was a little poor in places. I just fitted a set to my GT380. The stainless chambers had great welding on them but there are a lot of rough looking mandrel marks left on the headers. I would have expected them to have been polished out. Still, the bike looks a lot better with them. I guess they are a good value brand system.
