Default Retro Bazooka

Well I really wanted cholos because I think they look fantastic...but the field is getting thick and I don't want to crowd anybodies style.

I decided to keep with my contemporary retro theme (yes I know that's a contradiction...lol) I also did a big bore and cams so I might as well get every bit of power out of the set up that I can.

I like the way it turned out, I also went with a discontinued exhaust so Im not too worried about seeing a bunch of them at the next bike night.

All I need now is the impossible to find needle in a haystack shark fin tip for the canister.

^^^ I agree, it looks great as is. That's a real unique look. IMO the shark fin tip would blow it. ^^^

This bike looks awesome and two things, it doesn't need the shark fin but it's yours and sell your exhaust.
