Very nice there, Mike! That's your new 21in wheel laced to Ryk's old TBS hub ya bought from him, right?

And btw, that knobby tire...how are you finding the grip it has on tarmac?


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Erle, There have been a couple of changes

Dwight, 23"* but yes it sure is. Knobby feels fine so far but I haven't really pushed it.

I'd have LOVED to have that tire a couple weekends ago, when we went to the Carter Brothers Garage! (Sugar sand road)

I didn't pick up on the 23", I probably would have had the pic. been more of a side view.

Hey Flirt,
I'd bet if you took ANY America/Speedy header pipes (JUST for the flanges) to any automotive muffler shop, they could easily bend up the pipes to resemble mikes, or anything similar, for WAY less then buying a set from a motorcycle dealer. Then just slip in some "straight pipe" silencers, or make your own baffles (like I did).
They do it daily for project car systems. I got a custom, duel exhaust, with two large reverse flow mufflers on each side on my El Camino for $200 bucks.

@erle
sure, but I am from Vienna, Austria. Car shops are no common business around here, something like the system for your camino would be approx $ 2000 bucks...

And you would have e really big problem with the not roadleagal pipes. Everything needs to have approving documents and must be tested by government authorized places (=TÜV).

Yeah, should have thought about that.

When you live at Disney World, like I do, you forget about equipment regulations and vehicle inspections.
