Thank John, the more i thought about it today.....thats what i figured it had to be once you said stock....I mean they gotta be concentric so...... :thumbup:

they are Fast by Gast and Steve wonder could have welded them because this puppy frigging rips now. I took off the chambers and seat that came on it yesterday and it just looks so much better. tomorrow i am switching to a straighter bar setup and flipping those forks. Ill also be working on the pipes with scotch brite and fabbing up some hangers that allow a tad more vibration damping. Heres a pic of the old chambers and seat...damn thing wrecked the great lines of the bike, this one is much better. Any idea what the old chambers are? i have a set of wirges here and they didnt look the same, but whatever they are the dont hold a candle to the new FBG set.
