Draggin Pegs the whole way along the dragon, hitting the corners hard (look how compressed those 2" over forks are)

Kind of random..., but do you like your two into one pipe?
Punkskalar

Not at all... As a matter of fact, the bike rejected it physically on I-40 and I never looked back.... 2-2 is way better for this bike, It will be interesting to test a 2-1 on a rephased engine...

Punskalar, did you build your own frame for that bike? It has some stretch where the frame joins the neck. Looks like Chica built it, which is a GOOOOD thing.

Yep, thats one of mine... No one ever seems to mess with the front half of these bikes, I wanted to do something a little different, and that tank would never fit on a stock front loop properly... Thanks for the compliments...

Literally blew right off on I-40... Figured it wasn't worth stopping for once I saw how many cars were behind me...
It instantly ran better... I tried running that megaphone with the stock baffle, completely baffleless, and then with my own custom baffle... This bike just did NOT want a 2-1 exhaust... The rest of the trip was a bit loud, but I'll fix that... 1,000 plus miles in about 5 days

Dragging pegs,exhaust may be cool but cornering even deeper you could highside the bike and that is not cool when you fly over the bike.

Front suspension was full compressed, this was going into the turn. I've never touched the exhaust on this bike, and the pegs fold up when I drag them.... No threat of high siding this bike from cornering, not after the riding and beat down I gave it this past week

I saw a "man bike" low side and slide across the road from dragging his super sized floor boards. I'm pretty sure he shit his chaps.

That guy is now missing his arm skin. Geezzeee!!!
Notice in the first pic that his front tire is stopped. Why are you braking in a corner?!!!!!!!!!

I tagged the rear of my exhaust the other day taking a corner and was wondering what the consequences would be if I went even deeper. Looks like I may need to bend the exhaust some more.
