Paul,  my bends arrived a couple of hours ago and I could not wait.
The first happy surprise was that with just one 45º bend installed
"down hill" the motor mount upper tube was easily cleared.  There was
far more clearance in reality than in my drawings.  I think they were
able to bend to a tighter radius than I was originally told.    I
asked them to make the tightest bends possible.    Secondly I was
able to achieve 28.5 inches length in the runners.   This is because
I decided to connect to the muffler from the bottom, which provided
more wrap, and to Butch's suggestion of setting the sq muffler at 45
degrees.  This allows for a very compact installation.       Here are
a couple of photos of the runners trimmed to fit and held together
with tape.   I do not believe I there will be any conflict with the
cowl on the side or the bottom but that remains to be proven.   Jerry

Looks great Jerry. How far below the engine pan rail do they go.
I'll do a new 3D cowling.
