Interesting exhaust system. How is the performance with it? Fun to take a bike out from old long nap like that, looks nice.  :thumb:

Groover,
 It is an EPA system, Dr. John replica made for street use. The engine only has 100mi. performance is brisk. It has Lm 4 SE piston,  cylinders, and heads, all nos, 40mm euro carbs. centauro flywheel, megacycle norris SS grind cam. All seems to work quite well.

You using soft bags?  I'd like to see your bike in John Day.  I need to rework the ignition switch on mine.  Keeps shorting out and blowing the fuses.

Sounds like a plan. I'll make an effort to ride the Aero Lario over to your place shortly.. I won't have it at John Day.

But those Pipes!

I'm just getting close to finishing my LM IV restoration, and found a decent set of Bub pipes but they have some battery acid scars...I wonder if those are still around somewhere.

Likethe look of the LM3, but then the eighties bikes where my period so not surprising I love that GPZ' esc look. 

Have fun fella.
