picked this one up about 1 year ago, was sitting in somebodys dirty garage, budyd of mine scouted it for me and snagged it. It got dubbed the mini banana. lol.

i did do a repaint of the tank and sidecovers and replace the decals (from diablo cycles, yes they had them)



it is an absolute hoot. I ported it a tiny bit and will hit 60 in it, book rates it at 54mph max speed. even have chambers but they actually hurt the top end but helped the mid.  :umm: either way, its a lot of fun. and.. it actually doesnt do too bad 2 up. (i tested it with the -tiny- GF, we actually hit 50mph on it, to my surprise)

tiniest carbs.. vm16s
(heres one next to a t500 vm32)







as i got it:

The before and after is amazing on that one. It looks great. I love the slash cut pipes.

Sweet Little twin! :nana:

This makes me want to get my LS2 back on the road.

Mark- not sure if I gave you those pipe specs or not. My father put some on his LS2 an it really woke it up, even with stock porting and carbs.

Nice work. I'd ride that all over town. Love the tiddlers and miss seeing them raced.

Awesome little bike. Kind of reminds me of a FSi, I wonder if they share any parts?
