Some stainless chambers for the ba-ding-ding

A while back, when I was doing the H2++, the conversation swirled around the "boy it would be awesome if_____________"... lines where we fill in the blank. One of those lines was a set of really nice stainless chambers. At the time, I knew *where* to get them from, but they were awfully expensive. So, the bike was done, and the set of Factory Pipe chambers we had were hung on. These were defineitely a performance improvement from the factory pipes, but were not ideal. we accepted that and down the road we went. I continued to monitor the source, and lo-and-behold around Christams time of last year, these were now 50% off. Yep, thats right- A complete set of Jim Lomas made in the Czech republic stainless chambers with our choice of mufflers (within a small selection thereof) were available, and only one set remained. These were meant to be. "it really ties the room together" super nice fit, and they have double o-ringed spigots to minimize the 2 stroke ooze. Now onto some engine updates this coming off season!

The Giggle Bus

Or, just "the Bus". I've not had a big, wide bike. Nor one with such comfort and provisions to fit stuff. All my rigs are hotrods that you can even fit a pack of gum on. But the wife is genuinely comfortable in that Chair. And it is a well set-up outfit. And I grin from ear-to-ear when we're 'motoring about'
Going to solo-saddle it for sure, and I have a black center Morris mag that will likely get put on in place of the natural one on the chair, but otherwise she's a creampuff.
