    Is it me or is the wheel base on the first one really short?

      Not really shorter than mine...if you notice he's also using a zrx1100 swingarm like mine and though he's got the adusters all the way forward that would only account for about 1-12" of loss. I think it's kinf od an optical illusion with the seat unit being shortened severely and the image below actially have a bit of an extended wheel base.

      Actually, after comparing the Japanese Kat and mine side by side in photos, I think you're right afterall...looks like he lopped about 4 inches out of his zrx arm.

        That's why I wondered if it was me. I looks square!

        I always avoided trips to Japan. Now that I know the kind of kit they have there for SFs and updating older bikes, I'd welcome one. But that just means the company will never ever ask me again!

          That's an interesting method to weigh #2.

            That's actually a great idea. I have some load cells in "storage" in Austin. If I can get some amps/displays for them the B_P scales will be open. They will be more accurate..

              Both are awesome! I like the mean look of the SFs!

                    Are you talking about the Ductana? Since it has no brakes, I'm thinking he still working on it..

                      I thought he used the ol' foot brake trick

                        Even on the first one it look like he just left the can off.

                            You can see the tip of a baffle sticking out of the pipe...I'm sure it does the absolute minimum of keeping things "quiet"
