The Suspension, the exhaust, the seat, the braking, the look of the bike are all aligned. If I come across a ~~pair~~ correct seat cowl I will jump all over it but I have been looking for 4 years so far and no dice. One day.

	After fighting with the bike for 4 hours, I was able to get the new system on. One of the major differences of the Two Brothers / Staintune systems is that the Two Brothers was a mimmic of the OEM Laser but without the mixing catalytic: These are both two-into-one-into-two, neither doing any justice to the big ass 1100 in the bike. Also, the Laser and Two Brothers build quality was crap and the mufflers looked like shit on the bike, far to modern.		After fighting with the bike for 4 hours, I was able to get the new system on.

	The downside of this itch was two fold: The Staintune system was a $2.5-$3K option new AND they are impossible to find these days. Many will tell you I have a serious issue with Ebay but sometimes it pays off. After passing on a few systems over the past 4 years due to cost, location and import duties, one popped up in "decent" shape state side. I jumped on it as fast as I could!

	I didn't buy one then but I never forgot the bike. A year or two later a friend was looking for a bike and the BCR was the one for him, or so I had decided. He loved the idea of the bike after I showed him a few pics, so we started looking and found one in Chicago which we shipped to RI. When he received the bike I said, "if you ever want to sell that thing, call me first".		I didn't buy one then but I never forgot the bike.

	He rode the bike for 15 years and then sure enough, he called me and said he was thinking of selling the BCR. I took my wife on our second date on this bike so in my mind I had to have it.
