This bike was built by Yahoo Ascot Owners Group member "DoubleJump".

DoubleJump fabricated several custom pieces by himself including the side plates & the 2 into 1 exhaust system that eliminates the large collector box that is usually mounted under the bike. The exhaust looks like a real improvement & he is contemplating offering copies for sale.
