Still laughing about the side drafts.....SUs are a pretty decent carb on these things, but you don't see too many people running them anymore.

Here's an artsy pic of the pan from a couple of years back. And one in better light.

I got my seat back for the Evo over the weekend, and did a little test fitting while swilling beer.



This was the original seat that I built the bike with, reworked by a buddy who recently started messing around doing seat stuff on the side. It was definitely showing its age with some holes and tatters in the vinyl, which also wasn't very pliable anymore. I wanted to keep the leather seating portion intact along with all of its quarter century of wear and patina but have the vinyl replaced, and he nailed it. Just what I was after, it's ready for another 25 years. I just have to come up with some new bumpers underneath and this thing is ready for me to take it for a spin for the first time since 2006.

Neither of them do it justice.

It's waaaay louder. Grin

It is a little raucous.  Grin

I picked up flanges few years ago to fab a set of baffled shotgun pipes for it that would run parallel and inline with the center of the rear wheel and end at that point as well, but have never gotten around to it. My back doesn't like to ride it much, so it's not a priority.

I just realized you guys were talking about the pipes...

I was referring to the color. laughingdp laughingdp laughingdp

I did a job for a douchebag builder a bunch of years ago that was eye assaulting. That was the intent. The customer frigging loved it.

Of course when the WSJ dumbed it down with lighting for the photo shoot the douchebag builder was all 'Yeah...that's what I saw'.

I'm so glad I'm retired.

Yeah, the flake never really stands out well in pictures of that thing. It always appears green. But when you're actually standing there looking at it, it's pretty wild. I had it at a benefit show for local veterans a couple of summers ago on a perfect day, and the paint was a draw.
