It looks like a custom fab, well he removed the old mufflers and used a generic muffler like you can get from dennis kirk.

This is an interesting thread to read through.

I saw the first page and the reasoning for the bike, something for his girlfriend and daughter to learn on... then he says therefor it needs the cafe treatment?

I was scratching my head already cause the bike on the trailer looked perfect for that... maybe when they learn and dump it a few times and are ready to move on you do that.

Anyways was not surprised to fast forward and read he pushed them away from motorcycles to scooters as a cafe style bike really isnt a good starter bike.

I took some more pics behind my house today... I am digging this lightweight bike!... I got to ride throug the hilly canyons you see in the background.

Where is all your electrical stuff? Fuse box, battery, R/R, etc??

yeah it looks like he just chopped off the stock mufflers but im wondering what kinda mufflers he put on in place of the stock ones, i liek the look of those and think they would go well with my gs450l

Might've been something like this.

that's jcwhitney and I'm pretty sure dennis kirk has them also but I can't get around their site, if you get the catalog you should be able to find it.

Yous kids is wasting your breath. He's not been on here in forever, and he owes some people here money or parts or something, so i doubt we'll see him again. For the record, his electrics are tucked under the tail cowl. Mine soon will be too...
