    The only way they can get enough volume into the mufflers to meet the noise regs. They could go under the seat, but that would put the weight up high..
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

    With any luck it will push the value of our classics up.

    Well, part from the muffler, I quite like the look of both the new Z1000 and the Z750. And I ride a Yamaha. What does all this mean?

    And have any Kawasaki dealers got GTR1400 demos in yet? The pricing is pretty sharp. Shame about the colour choice...

    Visually it makes the bike look unbalanced...when you first look at the pic you dont notice the bike it's that thing!

    I could chrome a road cone and put in on my bike and take off the fairings again lol!

    Hmm *mind ticking over*

    What a crazy thought - a road cone has a much better shape....

    That's a fantastic looking bike, but the cans? Just say no.

    That tank is getting quite a peak on it eh.
