      Nice. I'm confused about the gauges. Or am I just not seeing them correctly?

        Looks like it runs strong. Hows the family feel about the first video?

          I know lane sharing or splitting is common to many of you but just watching that scares me. What if someone pulled over to give the parked car more room? The guages confused me as well as the master cylinder on the clutch side. Perhaps you could post a few pics of your setup and tell us more about your modifications. I know I would be interested.

            Somehow, the video was shot in a mirror. Or...it was filmed in a left handed parallel universe...

              I dont think lane spitting is legal here in WV but i have seen many vids of people doing it but never saw it in person. I wouldnt do it myself.

                      Splitting lanes is a bad idea for the guy on the cycle. Bigger concern is the unexpected pass for the folks in the cars. You can kill yourself but please don't risk the lives of others.

                      Last year on the DC beltway four sports bike guys were racing and splitting lanes. Car driver panicked and when I passed the scene the fire engines were just finishing cleaning up four wetspots.

                      I'm almost 68 and didn't get here with that kind of riding.

                      Ride safe.

                      PS - I do like the work you've done on your bike.

                        DO you have any still shots of the Kerker? I'm curious as to what you have to do to get it to fit. You mentioned a 750 was the entire pipe off a 750 including the header?
                        Thanks
