Ducati Streetfighter with Competition Werkes Exhaust with homemade sound baffle. I made this part out of .032″ thick aluminum. The center hole is 1/2″ and the outer holes are 3/8″.

The coil is about 300-500 turns of 18 gauge magnet wire out of a car alternator. The power is supplied by a dewalt 18 volt drill battery at about 15-16 amps. The contactors are set up to supply power all of the time and the insulation starts to burn after about 10 seconds of running. [...]
This is my cobbed together first attempt at a 5-string, baritone resonator guitar. It still needs work but this is it so far. Can’t play it worth a crap yet either. But it’s got a vibrato!
