    JSP's Redwood, Calif. Trip

    Had a great time! Wish it could have been longer. Good food, great roads and scenery! Bike did awesome.. So glad I upgraded to a Hayabusa shock/spring. I had the Bandit loaded up pretty good, plus my wife on the back. We did almost 700 miles between the two days. Some pics!

    Hey guys. Ran this on my bike less than 5 miles... Put it on to test it out and then it sat in the garage because I never got around to doing the hanger for it. It does have a couple dings on the underside of the can where my rear lift hit it. So I will discount for that. You cannot see...
