I'm with the above, layback.

those drainpipes only go on a few bikes, Dyno's mainly i think, I have a couple I'm going to cut off to make short laybacks.

If youre going in for a period look of around 85/86/87 a snakepost is fine, imho both snake and layback posts look pants on most builds.

Straight is the way but having said that I could be about to put a snake post on a CW Pro Motion build circa 87'



Richie Anderson used a snake post on his TA XL (race bike) around 85/86  ;)
