I wonder where the inspiration for the orange bike came from? The Busa, or Gadsons 06?

Either way, Gadsons old bike looked pretty sharp!

YEA!
maybe busa owners believe they offer camouflage protection from the cops during top speed runs through the orange grove straights

My nephew saw one at our local Kawa dealer and insisted I must go have a look, so I did. I am not impressed, it looks kind of ghetto and mismatched to me. Especially the chrome decals on an orange and black Great Pumpkin bike. I'm not feeling it at all. Now if you could shave the chrome signage and ditch the huge cans for maybe some flat black Muzzy M14's that might look pretty good. On the other hand Ricky's bike looks fantastic even though I don't care for orange. Now that new green 14 looks great.

Looking good Shane...... I will do a search on extentions, I would like the shortest ones possible. Or maybe a swingarm???

I prefer the ones that Spencer Cycle sells. We have them on two of our bikes. They are pretty stout. You can probably run as short as 62" with them...or shorter with different bolts. Keep it short like that and extensions will work fine, IMO.
