What is this? The 400? Anyway, you can see the family resemblance, close enough to count:

I can.

Click on the link to the forum. There's a pic there.

update:
I cleared my cache and it disappeared for me too. Must be protected, so I removed it. Click on the link... :)

Jeez, now it's gone from the source as well. ???

Dammed biker forums, anyway. >:(

"Everyone go home, there's nothing here to see."

Edit by Susan: Actually it is still there. I could see it. I would guess they have a bandwidth limit and when it gets hit, the pic disappears for a while...

The moral of the story is that when you see something you like -- steal it and keep a copy on your own harddrive.

I see it no problem. Pretty cool too. Try it again maybe they just had too much traffic at the time.

i believe thats because he went with a rigid frame, this way he has to stop more often for fuel. that would leave more time for the kidneys to settle back into place. :P

quick question.....does the bike run better w/ that type of intake, exaust set up? doesn't look like it would have alot of backpressure. i was thinking of doing something similar(running w/ just the pipe...no muffler) maybe get an extension to turn it out a bit then painting it all black.
