    here's an oddball i bought last summer, not that it's odd, just another china clone honda, but for a short period of time (i think about a year or so), some were sold with the original rupp label on them, when micky rupp found out about it, he put a quick halt to it (and a lawsuit), i sold it sold it not too long after i bought it, yeah it looked real cool, but man they're a dog and i wanted to leave it stock, i think they were only sold in 2003, mine only had 153 miles on it when i bought it and it was street legal............ 00D0D_3nHLJPlvnyJ_600x450.jpg

    I had a full system kerker 4-1 on my 78 kz1000. That was a fast bike. It handled OK, but it was fast.

    Love the Honda ST1300, I had the ST1100.----I'm real happy with the Yamaha FJR1300, just turned 40,000 miles, only problem I have with it is that it wants to go FAST.:hair:

    I won't even comment on what speed my TLS wants to go. 100 mph is just loping along.

    I don't know if you caught the pic of my SV1000S in the beginning of the thread..... But I can imagine how that TL sounds at 100MPH. The end of second gear (11k) was 98 MPH on my SV. Sweet music from that metric twin turning 8, 9, 10k on the tach. :smoke::yes:

    Edit: I had bolt on Yoshis on mine (twin carbon fiber, the triangular models). Quite different than the sewing machine/Jetsons sound the stock cans had!

    I'll have to find that pic of your sv. I've got a full yosh system on mine, airbox flapper delete mod, newer style TLS t stat housing, BMC race filter, and 17/41 520 chain conversion, Corbin seat, customized national cycle cheetah screen, arrow bilnkers, and woodcraft riser bars. It had heli bars on it almost from new but they failed and one nearly snapped off on my ride home. Yes, that was scary, and that day I rode it to work and back, I didn't ride it hard and kept t he front tire on the tarmac. Good thing too.

    What was worse was heli bars poor customer service and asanine engineer's suggestion that I dropped my bike hard and that's why it failed ( at the weld fwiw). Needless to say I won't be buying heli or recommending their products anymore.

    I wasn't expecting a new set for free or anything, but I was not expecting to be accused of dropping my bike either.

    If anyone is thinking about going to the AMA(motoamerica) races at road America in Elkhart lake Wisconsin this weekend, hit me up. I'm always known to have a few extra refreshments in my cooler. I'll be there Friday, Saturday, and Sunday taking in superbike racing at the nations best road race track.
