Old vs New(er)

I haven't posted or even been on the forums in a while, so I figured I'd say hello to all. I haven't even ridden for a long time, just been busy working and trying to find a job in my field. My RC51 was getting lonely in the garage so I had to get it a friend......here it is. A sweet little cafe racer. Also, a few pics of the RC for the twin lovers. BTW the 88 Trooper in picture 3 in the background is for sale too if anyone is interested.

Thank you all for the compliments and suggestions.

is it me or do you have two different cans on the RC?

Nope, cans are the same. Both old school Sato's. Eventually I'm going to get the Simon Kobe cans (real shorty motogp.)

Details about the Trooper?

I'll pm you all the details, w/a link to pics

Thats a sweet cafe. Get some side covers made and its perfect.

Thats a clean old Pooper as well. That cant be a cleveland car.

Thought about side covers, but it has toggle switches under the seat as there is no key. I'm sure they can be made with hinges or some other mechanism to allow me access to under the seat in a relatively easy manner. Also, the battery sticks out a little on the one side so the covers couldn't be completely flush. I might be able to pick up a set of the stock covers for cheap and modify them to fit too. For now the plan is to powdercoat some stuff, pick a different color for the wheels, (possibly polished and red like the RC) get some stainless lines front and rear and a smaller oil cooler from a Bandit, since the current one is pretty big and bulky. Also, maybe another seat in the future, but for now I just want to ride the thing. You are correct, the Super Pooper was originally from California and has some cool things done to it. It is just a second vehicle that I don't drive very often. No use paying for tags and insurance if I don't drive it very often.
