    OK... I finally found the digital camera and coaxed it into working for a while. Here are a few pictures of the bike I got.

    So far I have removed the sissy bar and changed out the pronghorn handlebars for a set of euro style bars that I got with it. I have also put on a new set of tires. Other than that I have a few more things on order but most of that will just help make this thing run better than it dose now.

    actually it is a 550 ridz. Not bad for what I paid for it. Still needs some TLC and a few new parts but all in all she has been great so far.

    what exhaust is that?

    I like the little turn-out tips. Are they pretty loud?

    I have absolutely no idea what the exhaust is PghXJ. It was on there when I got the bike. My best guess is that they are 18" slip on's as the rest of the exhaust is stock. I have seen ones like it on ebay going for $75 a pair. As for the sound.... it sounds like a Harley at the moment. Mostly because I need to hit the carbs up again and give the rest of the engine a good going over as well. All in all though it sounds bigger than a 550. Sounds allot like my friends 1983 ZX1000.
