I dare people to post pictures of their Chicken Strips.
I would but I found out that the person who was taking care of the Wing while I am in Germany took it out for a spin without checking the oil. Now it is missing 2 piston rods...err I wouldnt say missing - they are sticking out of the cylindar wall.
So now I am bikeless, besides who ever heard of measuring CS's on a cruiser or am I wrong?

OK heres mine. Not too shabby for a bandit.
BTW yes I know my muffler is missing. I did a test fit on the bandit 1200 mid pipe that just arrived. Bolt on muffler for it should be here next week. Stock exhaust is going back on tomorrow so I can at least ride it without sounding like a GP bike

I saw the bolt holes and thought, hang on, he told me mid-pipe and can were a sealed unit!
The 12 can will be a lot heavier, will it not?

No the 12 can is actually lighter. Aluminum casing vs stainless steel casing. Plus its a gutted B12 can so its a bit lighter still since its baffles are gone.
Plus I might be able to snag a Yoshimura can for it for cheap (have high bid on one on ebay).
