Dillz Three pedals are better then two..

From the back there almost identical and from the front without the raccoon eyes and a bit of paint in the front bar and you've got an XR. FPV you lazy bastards..

Trough Lolly Member 4,349 Member For: 20y 8d Gender: Male Location: Mildura Posted 03/03/08 03:09 PM Share Posted 03/03/08 03:09 PM the inlet plenum looks of a very similar design to DRIF6.... I wonder if that designer was contacted for some "technical input" on the new model??you might wanna have another look, yes the TB was turned but its a whole new top section.its a log style similar to rapids old plen but alot smaller in diameter.Oh and has anybody noticed that the new airbox's seem to need a ratchet or sumthing to get to the air filter element??the clips are deleted and replaced by what seems to be a nut!
