I don't know , I haven't been able to start it , I was waiting on the engine tin to be painted so I could assemble it. As for the bike they fit I have no idea these are aftermarket slip on mufflers, I just bought a size that had the same diameter pipe going in and took the baffles out of the ends.
Hopefully soon I will hear it run

Not sure on the base, have a lot of the base left. I bought a gallon of the blue base and a gallon of the clear, he used 3/4 of a gallon of clear just on the body you see here, not the hood .He also sprayed a white sealer before the blue. There is 6 coats of clear. Those pics are only one coat clear.. He said the pics do not do it any justice. Everything came from TCP Global very reasonable prices.
I will be wet sanding it on Sunday.

The hammer finish looks MUCH better than the gloss black.
