It looks like they added a 2nd petcock to a r65/r80G/S/R80ST tank.
Well, looking closer, it may just be the paint job that makes it look that way. It doesn't have a flush cap.

And at least the pipes are under the engine.

I've never seen a good airhead with pipes over, except for the factory enduros.

edit-for-melville: Hey melville, check out the footpegs!

Another edit:
This is what I was Really Thinking Of!

I love it, Veg, but that headlight shell screams for an Earles.

Clearly the 6 Days riders were also goofyfoot:

This is one of those 'right click and open in a new tab' giant pix.

I thought the footpegs on that bike were inline, melville.


But yeah, Veg, nice bike!

Yep, inline. Goofyfooters demanding at least evenness in what is mostly a regularfooters' world.

Oh, so you consider yourself to be a Goofyfooter (surfing term?)?
I thought you were calling offset pegs "Goofyfooting".

Rob - didn't even sidewalk surf in Indiana

Goofy = right foot forward, like Robert August:

Regular = left foot forward, like Mike Hynson:

I'd say that regular:goofy is one of those 80:20 things.
