  2. I like it but I can't understand why there are so many cut and weld exhausts when there are companies out there that can bend them.

  3. Seems to be a fashion thing...lots of aftermarket silencers/race cans are fabricated like this nowadays....and I bet his right leg gets a bit toasty!

  5. Because it's titanium, and it's hard to bend titanium pipes.

  6. Not really, titanium, inconel, they can all be mandrel bent by a reputable company.

  12. I think it's fab, but the seat and pipe design don't quite go with the rest which looks more modern IMO - great to see something a little different though :)

  18. That's got to be the smallest clutch cover I've ever seen !
    I like these modified bikes though I can't help thinking what the real reason is to remove all the bodywork and start hacking it about?

  19. I've just hacked one of my bikes about that was straight and undamaged - I was left with the headstock and down tubes only when I had finished - is that not normal :D
