That is a pretty sweet machine.
I don't know if it's just me...but the 1st thing I notice is how narrow looking the expansion chamber is...he doesn't say much about the pipe other than it's a PC, not sure what size bike it's made for....and it needs a lower mount fabricated.
Bet it rides nice.

Well, if I had one I would.  :-)  Does my KX500 converted to a street SuMo count?  :-D  When it is done I meant. No more morph-idites for me. Too many odd balls and "one of a kind" and "rare" bikes in my past. Wait, I am converting a dirt bike to make it street legal. Never mind.  :lol:

engine-mount looks like handcrafted under stress with short time-limit , but it seems to be good quality-material
