    Nice! At $500 it's great. I think those pipes are Jardine turnouts on a factory head pipe...just a guess.
    You're not crazy until you own more than four and they spend the winter in your living room. I had four at one point but only ever had two in the house.

      Are you suggesting it has a Venture tank? Looks normal size to me... kinda ugly with those bars on it IMO, otherwise its a nice looking bike.

        It looks a bit taller to me, but with the repainting you can't distinguish the knee indents really.
