I have heard all bad.  The list is long of how many people have been screwed over by them.  JFab has good solutions for the pipe.

I can emphatically agree with SHLEPY.  I have been trashing this guys work over at VitalMX and bannedCR500riders site because of the piece of junk that he converted for me.  I took him my frame and it was HORRIBLE when I got it back.  Motor wouldn't fit down between the mounts, headstay was a joke, a rubber coupler from what I think was a water heater to slide over the 4-stroke airboot to make it fit onto the 500 carb.  Lol. THAT was a real piece of engineering.  Gave me some REAL attitude when I called him to ask what the workmanship was all about.  Just brutal.  Paid a local welder to straighten the mess up, I wouldn't even take it back to him.  Not even interested in seeing him or having him try to correct it.  Nasty bit of business with him.
DISCLAIMER:  The opinion expressed here is mine, and mine alone.  However, it is the truth.  KXRiders.com has no involvement in this post, and their allowing this post is not to be construed as participating in slamming George's work, or recommending you should not do business with him.

I really hope it works out for you Dean. Just a thought here. George and I have been going toe to toe over at VitalMX for a couple of weeks. He finally showed up there, after I've been slagging him AND his workmanship for a couple of years.  Perhaps he's just now decided to kiss your hiney, in hopes of a better rep. I posted I saw your thread over there, and it had under 250 views from Oct 30. I jumped in here to post a week ago, and in 2 1/2 days it jumped to over 430. I think people over there are paying attention, and he knows it. I absolutely WILL NOT give him the chance to fix the mess he made of mine, just done with him. Hope it all comes together for you.

Lol. Oh man. Read my first post in this and that's the TIP of the iceberg. Just BUTCHERED my conversion. Beyond brutal. I am going to post the WHOLE story, with pics,here and at Vital around Xmas. I'm 2000 miles away from that bike now, working in the oil patch. Will have a couple weeks off to disassemble it and show the true HATCHET job that is MPS' finest. I'm on an I Phone and it's too much typing with fat fingers to get into on this. Plus I'm in line waiting to unload crude oil so not enough time. Stay tuned, details to follow. LOTS of them. Lol
