what are your plans for your left leg with the exhaust running out the side?

what makes you think the exhaust will get any longer than it is now? :laugh:
Maybe some asbestos riding pants? :P

How sharp will the bend on cylinders 3 and 4? That looks like a rather sharp 180 degree bend.

If it has tits or tires, it'll give you problems!

I think I read in the "two stroke tuner's handbook" that sharp bends have NO effect as long as they are smooth and the diameter and length is correct.

My former SV650 had a VERY sharp bend from the factory.
