I was dog paddling around the internet looking for new ideas or parts for the bike when I came across this poor lost soul on another message board...

I wanted to shed a tear...

WOW!!!!!.......just when I thought I have seen every exhaust system imaginable.....this shows up!!!!!

Caaveman82 · « **Reply #2 on:** February 06, 2009, 10:08:08 PM »

Right? What was the thought process?

"Hey let's go to the junk yard and see what kind of header we can find off a car to put on the motorcycle!"

"Okay!"

why not just tape some cardboard paper towel tubes onto the thing, you could have the first transformable exhaust. Goes from 4 - 1 to 4 - 4 or 4 - 2 in seconds!

...Honda Hobo, I will cry for you.

Also notice the tank with the one spot of gloss black and the rest matte, also the ammo can "saddle bag" for Pete's sakes.....

the gloss is from his knees polishing it.

I think it's a rat. I kind of like his "well f*ck the lot of yer's" attitude to what a motorcycle should look like.

Custom leaf blower for cleaner the gutters on the side of the road

Obviously echo-minded. He found a use for plastic trash bags as fork covers rather than sending them to a land fill.

well I'm off to take the garbage to the garbage store...maybe I offer to take that bike with me....

Speed King · « **Reply #19 on:** February 07, 2009, 07:39:50 AM »

hideous.

Caaveman82 · « **Reply #20 on:** February 07, 2009, 07:42:59 AM »

The problem is I doubt he was going for the "rat bike" look, thing looks more like it was neglected till it started to fall apart and then he did some s^it hack repairs...

but that's just to the untrained eye I guess..

nickjtc · « **Reply #21 on:** February 07, 2009, 07:50:25 AM »

Gotta love the tank repair job....

jsaab2748 · « **Reply #22 on:** February 07, 2009, 09:08:03 AM »

Anyone know if that exhaust is the remanant of a turbo set up?

754 · « **Reply #23 on:** February 07, 2009, 09:30:50 AM »

nope, looks too crude.

You guys really got it in for someone that actually uses their bike while having little to spend on it..

dont ever travel through a 3rd world country and look at the vehicles, you wont enjoy it...

I'm with you Tramp. Just because it doesn't look like someone thinks it "should" doesn't mean it shouldn't be valued. (Triple negative word score!)

The bike is unique! And I like the ammo box
