Just trawling when I spied this beauty. I think it's safe to assume that the owner is not a member of this here forum and probably shouldn't be allowed to join. EVER.

Quoteonly YOU will know the nitrous bottle is f-a-k-e... (it has 5lbs of lead fishing weight in it to even out the weight distribution of the single R1 can on the right side)

Hilarious!

Timing has much to do with the success of a rain dance.

The only time I've seen something done like that where i liked it was a hayabusa with an outwardly stock appearing exhaust.  Except that the right side was internally very not stock, and the left wasn't hooked up to the exhaust system, it was hollowed out and hiding a nitrous bottle very nicely..

That 'busa's a real sleeper! Nice. So take the bottle off the FJ and it looks pretty good!

Click "Enlarge" on the pictures and look at pics 11 and 12 down from the top.  Notice the flexible midpipe.  WTF?!?  What is under that braided metal sleeve?  Can it really handle the heat?  I have NEVER seen someone do this on a motorcycle.  Also makes me wonder the condition of the metal under that "DEI" titanium header wrap.  Seems like the exhaust system is held together with hoseclamps...
