I love that upswept pipes.
I mailed, called V&H to see if they can ever produce or bring back the stainless stell race pipe version for XR, NO was their answer, I hate their water down black widow exhaust for XR

I hand cut the sprocket cover myself and touched the edges up with Testors aluminum model paint. Perfect match. I prefer that look over the cover not there as I ran without one for a bit.

I am running longer than stock (13.5" if I recall) Works Shocks Trackers. Valved and sprung for my weight and riding style. Love 'em! More lean angle and quickened the steering a bit. The forks have custom valved Ohlins cartidges by Motorcycle Metal.
