Those exhaust look like attachments to my vaccum cleaner or something out of aliens.   ;D  I wonder how they were made?

PS If you decide to build, be careful, your significant other may take offense to the dump bed.  I know I would!   ;D

Bill, you've got to stay off of that 650 site - those guys keep you wanting to build new things. Here's my favorite use of the classic Yamaha twin -



Kaws, Hondas, Yamahas, and Suzukis - especially Kaws

               Awww Man, I was saving that one for later. ;D Not really, I had seen it but hadn't thought of posting it. A couple of years ago, I found a homemade "Riding Mower(although I never saw a deck on it) with a CB500 Four motor on it. Can't seem to find anything on it now! :(  I've seen some pretty impressive builds on there too. I like our forums a lot better but, I like to browse once in a while to se what kind of stuff pops up there and if there are any ideas that might be used by me or anyone else.

                                                               Later on, Bill :) ;)

         Bet that was wicked!! :o 8)   I saw one years ago with a Yamaha 250 twin motor. I think the trans was whacked off. the motor was turned around backwards and it had 2 chrome expansion chambers coming up right behind the seat! I'd be wearing ear plugs! :o I think it was in Hot Rod Magazine (have no idea what year,thought maybe somebody around my age might remember seeing it) Had a neighbor back in the early 60's that had a Simplex go cart with twin West Bend motors and that sucker would scream!!!
