Default A crazy idea

I'm going to go with new wheels and really leaning towards black wheels with the edges diamond cut (billet exposed) but need just a little more black to roll with the wheels..

I want a new exhaust but that aint going to happen so I'm taking the "played out" VH BR 2/2 and taking the upper shields off and painting the entire pipe black and dilling some holes in the lower (end portion) of it..

Here is a finger painting of it.. Of course the holes will be symitrical with the shields.. If i keep the upper shields they will be painted.. Whatcha think.... To crazy or will it look ghetto...

If you can pull it off, it would look sick. Like the concept. I agree on the played out Big Radius pipes, they are sweet, but everyone that has aftermarket pipes has them.

What do you think of the V and H RSD Tracker 2 into 1 pipes? One of the guys on the forum had them on his Rocker before he sold it. I think they would like good on your scoot and I watched a set of used ones go on Ebay for $200. Just a thought... I am going with the V and H Competition 2:1 pipes I think, hopefully before Spring but we will have to see.

I'd do some talking wtih V&h or ??? if the shields are chromed... sometimes it will crack or peel when a hole is punched or drilled through it..

I think that look great. With the RSD Tracker exhaust, talons sands makes a set of passenger peg relocation brackets to solve that problem. They run around $60 . I think the Trackers would look sweet on your ride!
