Update and a few new pics
The CX has been great. not riding much (only 1700 miles on it since the build was done). I did decide to wrap the header pipes and switch out the muffler. I used a 1" wrap in black and also coated it with a black silicone spray to protect the wrappings. It took all afternoon to do. The muffler is a 2" "quiet core" cone muffler from DCC. Looks and sounds much better.
