    After listening to it, its not making the power that it should. Anyone that has ridden one of those know that when it hits the powerband it rev's like crazy, this sounded to me like it was running lean. . Nice bike but and looks clean for the rear swingarm compared to the dual shock setup.

    couple notices looking at it closer -

    one theres no filters on the carbs, wheres the battery, and i wonder what front end he swapped on to have dual discs on a 550??

    and i wonder what tank that is....

    Probably can't fit any filters on the middle of the carbs due to the reservoir on the mono shock. And the tank is probably an old KZ tank as FJBell has stated.

    The battery was right behind the motor. It is a little guy.
