That is the exact template I've been looking for.

You mean, this bike?






Holy fuck that bike. It would suck for riding, it's entirely too distracting to ride well. With that motor, it has about as much torque as horsepower. As in, like a spin cycle on crack. *Phew*

Exhaust is a custom build from two to one to three. It is amazing, balanced weight and the paint job is beautiful.

I did ask Dar about the front rotor - it is full floating, strange to me that it wasn't cut/vented. I don't recall the reservoir being plastic. I do know the speedometer is from a race provider with a lap timer/transponder built in - and there is a radar detector in the top triple. The exhaust is a performance issue, with only two on the exit it didn't breathe enough.

Go buy a raffle ticket, or five. It goes to a good cause and if you don't... I'll win it [happily].

Oh, and I love you too, Gas...

Hmmmmm....for some reason I've had a change of heart about the bike.
