Smooth out the casting marks to start with. Get comfortable with your grinder before you go balls out.

From what I understand the exhaust ports are improved a good deal by removing them. I have a pair my dad started a bunch of years ago, the finished one would make a good template for comparison. I'll try and get some good pictures. Hell,I'd even let you borrow them. If your interested I can bring them with me next time I roll down to vv.
