              I was going to say "let's call him George" (as per Looney Tunes) -



              but considering GWB's popularity around the world I'd say George isn't such a popular name at the moment.

              Fred is much better

                Has the same shape as my old Kerker.
                That's about it though.

                  collector too large for a V&H, too small for a Yosh. From memory, kind of resembles a Kerker

                    Its a Kerker. OR MAYBE, but maybe an old Jardine, but Im going with Kerker. I have one almost like it but for an 8v bike. I will take some snaps tomorrow to compare....

                      It looks to me like a custom fabbed "frankenpipe" resulting from the gobs of weld joining the header to the mid section? Most all pipes I know of utilize a slip/clamp fit at the mid section. Maybe it's a combination of a MAC and a Kerker, so we can call it a "Macker"

                        That makes sense too ..

                        Here is another fabrication, an oil gauge, that I noticed on the bike (just from pics, have yet to see the bike) ..

                        The wheels, tires suspension seat and all look totally stock.
