Cafe racer exhaust? 2-into-1! Or perhaps the upswept XR750 look? If I was lucky enough to have one I would have to put proper front and rear fenders on it first though.....

I took the big ugly sticker off the air cleaner last night and it left a bunch if sticky residue. I used some 3M adhesive remover and it melted the gray powder coating on the oval cover. Now it looks like crap.


Its off to find a different air cleaner now.


How do you guys think a chrome Heavy Breather would look on this bike?

bassani, vance pro, defender, thunder header, lsr... 2-1...
or fab on the xr style pipes and rear sets
That's good to know as I was looking hard at those pipes. I had it narrowed down to either those or the Bobcat.

The mounting on the front fender looks fork specific, so you might be stuck with the stock plastic one.


The rear fender isn't that bad in person. It kind of grows on you, and after seeing it in person, I think a longer rear fender would look out of place.

the bobcat is near as bad sound wise but, you get the scavenging of a 2-1
