I'm surfing through the D&D Exhausts Flickr gallery and there is some nice stuff there from various shows, although you need to wade through the typical Harley cruft. I especially like (and am looking for more pictures of) this retro flat tracker custom Triumph.

Yeah, I'm real proud on how that bike turned out.....turns out I had a very small part in the development (unbeknownst to me when I first saw it).
It was at the Virginia British Motorcycle Show this past October and I got a chance to talk to the owner. Earlier in the year he started a thread on the Jockey Journal requesting wiring information on the new Bonnie motor. I sent him the .pdf of the wiring schematic that's on this site, in the downloads section. Never thought about it again, even after seeing the completed bike. In chatting with him in October in VA I mentioned sending a wiring diagram and he asked me if I was "ssjones". Real young guy (can't recall the name of his shop) but their style is new/retro appearing choppers. It's pretty amazing in person. The bike has been riden, but just barely. I'd love to take spin on it to see how it handles. It's got to weigh a lot less than our bikes.

stacks and no filter.. I like the copper plumbing, I wonder how that would look on a stock BA?
I'd ride it.

I too spoke to the builder. Nice guy. I was really curious as to the secondary.

That is one cool machine. Very minimalistic as I like them and love that beefy looking girder on the front.

I don't think I could handle the riding position but I'd just like to have it in my living room as a piece of sculpture.
