My heart is set on
Drag Cyclone <\/p>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Currently it’s at the paint shop
and I can’t ride it in the meantime!

So that’s why I’m calling this temporary…
I’ll install the proper monaka (*\u00b4\u03c9\uff40*) <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/div>

If I just attached it as is,
it would go way too far forward <\/p>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

So I spread the pipes out~
and adjusted the angle accordingly <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things got pretty complicated…
<\/p>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I bent it and welded it directly.
More surface area means it’s stronger

I didn’t bother with a patch since it was a hassle

Since it would need a three-dimensional bend,
I welded it at the easier end <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>

A lift really
is the best, you know? <\/p>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

It’s perfect when you want to fit-weld
and
the adjustable height made welding easy too <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hmm… <\/p>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>

Basically, I think
this design <\/p>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

just isn’t my style.
This is temporary until the Drag Cyclone comes back.

To make this look cool,
I’d need to completely redo the step area
and it doesn’t seem worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>

I do like the silencer though
you know
<\/p>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Bikes are really hard to balance…
