What's the deal with the exhaust? Looks stock.

Side exhaust has been cut-in to try and imitate a Honda Rcv MotoGP bike.

Looks cool, must mess up the fuelling a treat though, it's literally just bodged onto the side of the main pipe.

The Sharpie paintjob is something that I actually dig! I did it on my helmet and my backpack once and it wore away and looked gash after a while! But those random snippets actually draw me in (excuse the pun).

With the zorsts, I think Arrow produced something similar back in the day for the RR4-RR7's to emulate the RCV211. That looks like the Rossi era RCVs when he was running full silencers. The Arrows are more like megaphones

Pretty much this, the more you look at the closeup pictures the more detail you see. Lots of film/TV references and logos of other companies. I like!

I like the overall effect but I find the modding something to attract attention vibe a bit meh.

The sensible part of me hates it - breaking up the lines of the bike camouflages it and increases SMIDSY potential.

But artistically I love it Thumbs Up It's a far better personalisation of a bike than slapping on a few pre-made anodised bits or paying someone else to spray it. And that beats the boring old man view Smile
