fuel catch can. its required to race at any track so you dont leak premix on the track. its a intake boost bottle. on the bottom is the original threaded hole that I use as a drain plug and I drilled 3 holes for the hoses.
Wow that shock is awesome were can I get one? Or what shop can make one for me? Do you have a Japan grab bar, or original DJ1-RR mini scoop I have both If you want.
We do race here!! Thanks any way if you don't want to say

That shock is animal, any pics from the rear? We always run shocks with a super short (and stiff) spring and a long bottom shaft, otherwise it almost always rubs the tire. How'd you get away with using that beefy thing?

Superdiozx- unless your going to circuit race your bike,you don't need to spend $500 for shock like this.thanks for the offer on the dj1rr grab bar and undercowl but I don't use the rear light/fender assembly and the dj1rr undercowl doesn't put down force on the frnt for cornering like the dio race undercowl does.
808bmw- I will take a rear photo. This shock has a offset bottom mount and I added washers on the top to push the shock out even more.I got about 1/2in clearance maybe more now

Indeed that is a very nice shock! That brand/logo on the bottom looks mighty familiar. I think its the same brand one guy over on TR sells custom front shocks, made to order as well dependant on rider weight, etc.
Bike looks sick dude!
