I have a set of brand new bar risers that don't require any replumbing I'm willing to sell. PM me if you are interested and I'll give you the details.

Don't want to hijack but need to ask. What is that cylinder on the right side beside the back wheel? I have seen several bikes with it but mine doesn't have it.

BTW.. I have this image of DJ sitting behind his computer with an evil grin when he posts! I love it.

That is the charcoal cannister. It is to keep the fumes from the gas tank from polluting the atmosphere. Unburned hydrocarbons are much worse for the environment than the CO2 coming coming from the tail pipe.
