I bought this bike in 2004 and joined the Yahoo group around the same time. Several difficulties with the project led to it being shelved for several years while I worked on other projects. As a result, I ended up forgetting my Yahoo password by the time I restarted it! I just found out from Leith C today that this new forum existed, so I have joined to post some pictures and details of the bike as it presently stands. There isn't much work left to do, so it won't look much different if/when it is eventually 'finished'. I had already posted more photos and details on the Diffrent Strokers forum, which is unfortunately a lot quieter than it used to be (can't imagine why - it is full of interesting info). See here: diffrentstrokers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2511Anyway, if anyone would like any more info, please let me know. Regards, James

Wow. Very unusual muffler configuration. How did you come up with that idea?! At first, I thought it was tied in to a compression release!
The bike looks great though, & is the only Supermoto conversion I've ever seen on a PE!

The write-up on Diffrent Strokers gives some background info - the objective was/is to reduce noise. Regards, James

Love it! What's the current status of the project?
I'm a 2 smoke supermoto guys as well (KTM 300XCW) and would really love to build a vintage unit like this.
How do the brakes hold up, that always seems to be the issue with SM?
Cheers,
Wes
