I don't know what you mean by that, but they are classic cafe grips.  VERY comfy.  They are nice and squishy.

[Duffil]

I meant they look hard as hell.

sorry for cluttering this up with :bull crap:

Please continue.

[Duffil]

front wheel looks good in black. It's coming together mang.

[CTENG in KS [OP]]

Much better than the shittay chrome/rust thing it had going on before!

[Duffil]

are you going to run a matching distanzia out back? and are you going to do anything for the engine/exhaust?

[CTENG in KS [OP]]

Yes and yes.

The engine needs to be cleaned up, but it is running fine so I am not gonna mess with it too much.  In order to accomodate the new rear suspension I am goinna mount I will need to build a new exhaust, expansion chamber and all.

  that whole expansion chamber thing is kind of a science, what kinda guidelines are you gonna follow?

yeah, but it cant be any worse than 1970s Yamaha tech, right?

 this is cool,  lookin good!!  The oil injection thing is kinda unpredictable though....

I am not too concerned about a super performance chamber as this is a 20 hp bike on the street.  I  figure, like duffil said, I can probably do better than the horrific OEM design on there right now.  I am going to tune it for peak response at lower RPM to make it a better street bike.  I don't need to rev it to 14 grand goind to work on 40 mph streets.  The plan is a longer than stock head pipe connecting to a gentle tapering ROUND (stock is like square/oval molded = bad) expansion cone.  The cone will have a matching diameter conversion cone that is 1/4 to 1/3 the length of the expansion cone.  Largest diameter of the chamber will be around 4 inches.  The converging cone has to drop down to a 1.25 inch exit pipe bout 2 inches long and then into the muffler/silencer of my choice.  Preferably something large and quieter than stock.
