Makes me smile just looking at it, are those custom made chambers.

They are Swarbrick chambers. They are built for that engine and frame combo (sort of) but I changed them a bit by cutting and rotating the rear convergent cone to give them a more up swept look. They come mostly welded together but the brackets are left off and the stingers need to be cut to length and welded in place. I went with the stinger mostly internal. According to Swarbrick the stinger length and internal VS external mostly affects top end and the noise level. I did it purely for the looks.

This thing makes me smile every time I ride it, especially after not riding it for almost 6 months.

Check out factorypro.com, I think they may have what you are looking for to solve your problem.

8-10K in parts?

Other than the exhaust it looks decent. I see it has the new "hydrologic" brakes and clutch.  :Clown:

It's got a top end off of a TZ750.

Ive heard the 750 cyls are actually pretty good for street use on this setup.

You heard correctly.

It's nice but I guess I don't see the point of it. What wrong with the stock ones?

I was going to say to use an impact, but I've also seen a lot of negative comments about it. Always worked for me in the past, clutch and sprocket nuts as well. Just don't use an impact meant for working on semi's or earth moving equipment.

I do this^^^^^

The chambers look like old school Spec II and also look like they are on the wrong sides.

They're expensive but I'd bet they are of decent quality. Let's face it, how much repop stuff is as good of quality as original?

I have them on my TZ replica street bike. They work very well on the street.
