TW200..

Picked up a bone-stock '08 TW200 locally.. It was the perfect 'quickie' build for what little free time I have.  Cut up some handlebars, bent up a battery/electrical tray, a splashguard, and tail/turn mounts. Did a quick CV mod and rejet, slapped on a round headlamp.. The OEM graphics are nasty, and I'm not 100% sure if I dig the exhaust. There are a few more details in the works, but it is what it is for now. Oh, smaller rear sprocket for the 65+ mpg bike helps to offset the cost of $4.09/gal regular 87 unleaded. Ugh.

  2. hey chevyyy1212- the muffler and header are 1-3/4" dia... header is from 'nitro heads...' the muffler is an 'emgo' (cheapo) unit, but be careful - the packing that it comes with sucks, and when it blows out in the first hour, it gets really loud. i took it apart, added mechanical baffles to the perf core, and repacked it. it's not irritatingly loud anymore!
