The looks are much more simmilar than I realized seeing them side bt side. Looks like a fairing swap would be easy. The extra 150ccs might be more difficult.

It sounded great. Very different from my RZ. #1 cylinder was cutting in and out on the RG, but when he lit it up it flew.

That was fun to watch. Kind of make me want to run out and find one. Thanks. I'll blame it on you. :smt003

Forks reworked, stock intakes gone, and a few other things I can't remember right now.
