I don't buy the loud pipes save lives thing. If that were true, Harleys and sportbikes with bulldogged cans would never get hit. And there's no telling how many riders with loud pipes were hit on purpose because their loud pipes annoyed the crap out of someone.

My other bike has a fairly loud pipe, but that didn't stop a guy right next to me from trying to merge into my lane. My dual horns got his attention, though. One of the horns is mounted inside the tail section and the other is under the swingarm pivot. Still very loud.

I think a good horn can still be tucked into the Ryca tail, where it will be just as loud as if it were a few feet forward in the stock position. The stock horn might fit behind the side covers. I think a horn could also mount on top of the transmission when using the Ryca parts.

Oh, look what's outside.

It's the World's Happiest UPS Guy.

Hmmmm, what could it be? (As if I don't know.)

Why it's my tank.

And in the other box we have the seat and tail. Nice hand-laid fiberglass.

And side covers.

But wait, there's more in the box!

This is a classic case of "under-promise and over-deliver." They told me they were only sending the body parts. Cool.

Cheesy

I guess I'm spending the weekend with some rough assembly prior to powdercoating. The trick will be wrestling the engine back into the frame so I can see what sort of problems a chain drive conversion will cause.
