I find it to be quite attractive! And it makes for a safer ride for what... 6 bucks? Also what kind of exhaust is that?

Looks nice. Details on the wind screen? I'm not really interested in its function but it looks good.

Sounds great is an understatement. How much did it cost u to get ur bike from stock exhaust to THAT! I'm guessing u had to get a lunchbox and to rejet? But damn that thing sounded amazing.

the dyson is a beautiful piece of engineering. Paid almost as much for it as the gs tho.
A dude here in Aus makes the screen. AU$60. keeps the wind off my chest.

you're a clever, clever man Homer...
WTF are 'truck-car things?'

I have a spare '02 wombat and dingo for an E model if your interested? Think it would be a straight swap to fit your Kawa.

I want to build a trebuche and drive around collecting giant 30 lb hamsters in a car-truck thing.
Then launch them.
