The slotted rear rotor and new tires were not when these photos were taken. Handle bars have been changed and now have a 1" rise.
I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.
Sorry to hear about your back probs, Coyote.
I hope Red Zone goes to a good home. You did a great job on her.
That bike is very much like what I intended to build ~15 years ago. I even bought a 550M
as the foundation because it had a nice set of Bassani chambers on it. Well, one thing led to another
and I built my H2A semi-hot rod instead and the poor 550 ended up getting parted out.
IIRC, the pipes were sold to a member of this board in 2002 or so.
