WHERE TWO WHEELED HOOLIGANISM MEETS THE AMERICAN DREAM

About those detail shots...

I got sick of those basani pipes. They looked ok but I learned to love that stock balance pipe. So I took off the mufflers, made some quick slash cuts and stuck some 4" mini baffles in there and it runs, performs, and looks pretty darn good. Plus these dont drag in right hand turns. Ah yes, anything to increase the almighty lean angle.

OEM fender... trimmed for length, bottom was radiused to get rid of that ugly flat spot they have, and frame horns were cut off and 3/8'' round stock and some threaded bullets replaced them.

san FRansISCO sporty tank. First one I've completed (had a king tank that I narrowed but decided it was waaay too small and never finished it).



Left side foot control. Kick shift style.



Right side foot control. Heel applied brake.

Both foot controls utilize OEM forward control components, and are both bolt on mounts so I can still open up the primary / cam chest for when I break more things.
Both sides are halfway between forwards and mids, a little higher and a little tighter to the cases.
All of which equal better handling and lean angles.
And about that legit paint job... well it's still wearing rattle can paint. And the generic vented cap leaked gas all over it the first day so the rattle can clear got all runny in a few spots. Oh well... she's good to go for now.
