    Very sweet, I bet that sucker is fast and fun. Dunno about the pipes, I bet they are from some different bike. Sure don't fit that one very well, do they?

      Definitely the wrong pipes.

              Those pipes are Millennium pipes from Moto Carrera. They are better than the old standards like DG (on my RD) Factory Pipe Products, etc. I stuck with DG because of Nostalgia, but Hydroformed modern pipes like those make power. Designed by Tommy Crawford.

                The bike is a beauty. The pipes are like pieces of art, but they sure look vulnerable. Imagine the first time you dent those babies..ouch..

                  The tracker pipes they make are really cool. Both stingers exiting on the right.



                  The stainless (appearing anyway) set on the RD in question run $1100 a set.

                    Here we go.
                    Took two emails to get all of this:


                    Thanks! They are Moto Carrera millennium GP's

                    The pipes are for the stock motor. The Daytona motor has a lower exhaust height. Didn't wanna cut a brand new set of pipes.
                    Thanks!

                      +1: Those pipes would get hammered with all the road base in Colorado. $1100 ouch too

                        One good speed bump at speed would turn those fat pipes into flat pipes.
