What is that?  It said a Kawa XJ500T but when I did a google search it brought up a bunch of different bikes!  What does that look like stock?  Seems like a cool bike before he ruined it, but I know NOTHING about bikes outside of the GS lol

WTF are you talking. Back to stock what? It's got a kawa 500cc engine and kawa zx9 suspensions and everything else looks custon.

I like muffler setup but how do 2 headers go into three mufflers?  :cookoo:

:thumb: IC..looking at the pictures again I see three carbs. COOL!

And whoever is looking to do underbelly exhaust should look in getting those mufflers.

wow, didn't realize it was a completely frankenstein bike....probably why I couldn't find "stock" version of it to compare!
