Sawed out the exhaust system with the leaky pipe into the cat. Installed the exhaust system out of the parts truck using 6" flex pipe and two muffler clamps. I think I need one more clamp and a sleeve that isn't flex pipe.

bench bled new MC and installed, bled all calipers. man, its nice to have some brakes again... removed grill and light buckets, painted satin black. found out the driver side bucket was only being held by one screw... so i introduced the bucket to my old friend JB Weld. patched up some new mounting tabs and now im waiting for that to set. ordered some new shocks, monroe sensatrac, for the rear.
