HD clamps from Princess Auto. Way lighter than stock , and can be put back to original in 10 min.
Pardon the road dirt (adds authenticity)

Looks good. I am looking into getting a system coated, what made you decide to get it nickel plated and not e.g. ceramic coated?

Did I not reply to you? I thought I replied , but it looks like it didn't work. Any way, I had a previous 2 stroke pipe nickel plated and it turned out well. This time , though, the pipes were already rusty, and the plating shows some pitting. I t still beats rust though. Overall I'm happy with the results.

OK, thanks. The steel pipes I have are not new but have never been fitted and only have some very small spots on them.
