    Very nice, Russ! What's the story on the custom exhaust can (on the red Yosh 1000)...that looks pretty sharp!

      Russ, how do you adjust the rear wheel distance? Is it similar to a Benelli setup, rotate the offset axle?

        The custom can from both the '78 and the Cooley were made by a local Houston company called Jemco Exhausts. They have been making exhausts for around 30 years. Very big in the 2-stroke crowd. They literally ship all over the world. The can on the cooley was made to look like a Harris can. Both have 2 inch baffles. On the '78 we had to cut off the rear peg bracket and made the mount where the top was cut to accomodate the upsweep design. Originally it was a period Yosh exactly like Salty Monk's '78.

          That is correct.

                Not mine.
                A bike i saw a couple weeks ago at the vintage races at Mosport. I forgot to get the owners name. It was the first time on the track for the bike in 20 years.
                Love the Astralite wheels.

                    They did a pretty good job...I love the look of the pipe on the red 1000, in particular. By coincidence, I checked out a Jemco system for a Kawasaki KZ a few weeks ago. I had wheeled my bike out to the street, and came in to put on my gear when a guy stopped his pick-up & got out to check out the bike. When I went out, he asked if I was interested in selling it & I told him it wasn't for sale. Turns out he has 7 classic Kawa KZ/Z bikes, some very nice & the others in various stages of restoration, according to pics he showed me on his i-phone. Anyways, he pulled out a newly acquired Jemco Kawa system from the bed of his pick-up, and also a Wolf, similar to the one on my bike, that he was taking to get ceramic coated. Seemed disappointed, that I had not heard of Jemco.
                    Dude left me his card (apparently in the steel supply business), and asked me to call him first, if I ever wanted to sell...seems he would like to add my Suzuki to his Kawasaki stable.
                    It was only after he left, and I rode away, that I realized that neither of us had ever mentioned a price....
