did piranha have those on at all as well ?

--- End quote ---

Piranha had mags as well for sure, but I don't think they were like those. A mate started out with one. They did weigh a ton though and the overall looks are similar. Might be the same manufacturer as piranha.

I've got the make of BH in my head. Don't know why. Maybe someone else on the street rode one. Or did BH make piranha's?
