Well, the only thing (and I mean only) I'd change is mount the canister on a shorter exhaust pipe (you have to remember that I think all canisters on all sport bikes are too long if they reach or extend beyond the rear of the bike):)

nice setup.

looks like a zrx1100 lump. that works really nice.

swingarm is from what? zx9 or zx7-r?

pretty cool for RED too. reminds me of a racecrafters paint job.

The lines work and it looks great. I'll bet it runs as good as it looks.

I'm a bit conflicted on the exhaust. At least he left it smoothly curved with a nice upsweep. It may be a bit far back, but I'm not sure I'd change it.

Nice find, PLUMMEN.

She looks great, a lot of street fighter style bikes are built with the tail piece pointing to the sky but he has kept a good line. The engine looks a little differant to a zrx1100/1200. The rear sets are a bit to busy, and the pipe is far to long. I'd like to see more photos.

Since I now see how the pipe sweeps up from under the engine, it's as long as it needs to be and no longer in order to get the muffler to mount correctly.

I get the feeling that a lot of people only see it from the rear. :D
