Got this from another site. Seems to me that this eliminates one of the very reasons to own a Buell--for both engineering and aesthetic reasons. Oh, well, I guess some just gotta run with the crowd.

That is easily one of the ugliest & most retarded things I have seen done to a bike yet.

Some people truly do deserve a good b1tch slapping.

I was actually thinking about doing that to my bike. I'm gonna do it to both sides. That way I could be the dumbest XB owner on the planet! Until then, he holds the title: )

if they really wanted that pipe couldnt they have at least rged ti so that it would have fit under the bike it doesnt look that different from the jardine but thats just my opinion.

I really like how he made the pipe look old and rusty as if it were about to break apart at any time.I bet it took a lot of time and water to weather the pipe to look that good.

What gets me is that the outlet pipe faces away from the bike and up, rather than horizontal as you'd expect...

I think that pipe'd go nice under the bike... it's a pity... It's got one wide fat ar5e now...
