I love them, PoP's bike has rezzies, I opted not to have them for play riding. Saved about $175 and could have them added later. TCS does a great job setting them up for each specific rider/condition and in the dunes everyone in my camp cant believe how much they just glide over whoops 5th gear pinned!

It reacts to sunlight like antifreeze does going from emerald green to a translucent yellow.

it looks like you did a sand rail in the same color as the frame.

Yeah, we did one of the sand rails in the same color, I was going to do my 400 in a burnt orange pearl but ran out of time so red was done. The exhaust is from lteracing.com and sells for @ $600 complete with jets and a polished aluminum airbox. Price wise it is equal to most complete systems if you add the airbox as part of the kit. It is very snappy and seems to add a lot of torque throughout the powerband.

That's my dad's other garage on his property, we keep all our toys there, quads, buggies, boats trailers etc.

Actually those smashed things on his are from out friend's bike, Douglas black label with reinforcing rings. They are bashed to heck but are still straight. We run a lot of desert stuff so we use the Pure Sport Bandit kevlar tires.
Yeah, $580 sounds about right. It just seems to breathe a lot better. I have the DMC and love it but it seems to be more of a mid range exhaust where the LTE digs hard from the bottom up to the top. We had a bad battery so it limited us to little ride time so at new years we'll get a side by side with mine at Tset hill to see which works better.
That reminds me, to make it more comparible we need to get a 14t front sprocket for his. Mine is an early release 1999 with a lot of hours and the original spark plug and was running stronger than ever thanksgiving so I think with a new plug it should run a tad better!
