Re: Wyn has passed on....

Wow.... so sad to hear that Wyn has passed on. He asked me many years back to build him some pipes for his RZ500. Really a super nice person and always enjoyed playing with these things. He was one of the first building special RZ500's. That picture of Wyn standing next to Eddie at Daytona with his ...
