Not seen one of those since I was about 16 (19 years ago) and as far as I remember it had three cylinders but four exhausts.
The extra exhaust was a dummy.

Sounded nice.

 A good friend of mine rides a 750 and a 800 triple Kaw. The engines have been mounted into 250 frames with all custom exhaust.(no silencers) They make my k5 seem like a Briggs and stratton mini-bike. Very loud and powerful. The 750 has been in the family for years and the 800 is a new aqusition. He has another project going with a triple in a banshee frame. I'm sure adjusting three carbs, jetting and many other curveballs have been thrown at him, but he has some real impressive ponies. The triples are awesome street or dirt!!!! Good luck with the project.
