Your bike is excellent. I've had pics of stashed in my favorite bikes folder. What kind of pipes are those? I really like the tips and how long they are.  ~Brent

Thanks guys. The pipes are Specialty Spares long cannons. I got the billet tips and had them powdercoated black.

Unfortunately they're not. My rear tire is just about worn out too so I'll have to find a replacement for next year, not sure what I'm gonna do. I think Dunlop makes a WWW in the sizes we need.

yeah I guess we'll both be riding dunlops. Sucks cause the maxxis whites are a little bigger on the sidewalls than the dunlop.

One of the first bikes that had me drooling when I joined this site.I personally don't think you can beat spokes and white walls  I am on my second set of dunlop www. Have not been able to fault them as yet, under any riding condition. K555 - 170/80/15 - rear K177 - 120/90/18 - front Keep those pics coming.
What it can't reach it spits at.

Sweet, I dig the spokes and white walls, Very cool bike. I have the same solo peg plates, I run mine upside down, they look more natural to me that way.

A very nice example of an America Scott. Love the one of the front wheel outside of the florist. The white walls really suit your bike. I'm just amazed how individual all the bikes are on this forum. They might be all the same when they roll out of the Hinckley factory but that's where it stops and customising starts.

All the more amazing is the variety when you consider there still NINE YEARS LATER there are still hardly any accessories (compared to other brands) out there. Human ingenuity knows no bounds.

Great look bike. What do you use to clean the chain lube off the white walls? Sorta entertaining the thought of putting WW on my bike.
Didn't buy into the hype, you can keep the change.

Thanks for the compliments guys!
John- That's my favorite pic too, I wish I could take credit for it. Dave (roadworthy) took that pic at the first Midwest Rally. I have it set as the background on my computer.
Eddie- Westley's Bleeche-White works awesome, but it's still a PITA to do. I try to go easy on the chain lube, but the brake dust still gets them plenty dirty.

I can't believe it's taken me this long to comment on what a great lookin' bike you have, Scott! (...I guess that is what's so nice about Friar John startin' this whole "Spotlight" bike thing...it gives me a chance to notice stuff like this months later and after I was probably too preoccupied crackin' jokes and otherwise sidetrackin' threads in the Lounge!!!)  
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)

That's where I got mine too, along with my choke knob. The guy is hard to track down nowadays, but I think he sells stuff from his ebay store.

Yeah, maybe he's not doing anything anymore. I got mine like 3-4 years ago, I don't even remember how much I paid.

I just emailed him... maybe I'll find out what's up with the empty store and all. I'd love a set of those spider web engine mounts!!
