Motorrad asked where the arrestor is  :o
With the wider rear wheel it would destroy the arrestor.
I have emailed the owner to hopefully get some clarification..

Yeah , I'd hit that :mrgreen:

I've thought about a fat cat kx500 conversion. Be curious how much traction you could actually hold with more tire meat like that

This was the reply I received from the owner:
Thats my bike, built it a couple months back. That was a handmade silencer that looked cool but was just way toooo loud. Now I've got a pro-circuit shortened 6 inches. Not much longer than the one in the pic, looks better on the bike and sounds real good. We build dune bikes with the 16" rear fat paddle and 18" front fatty set-ups, using all stock components. The handling, control and traction is awesome.

He used to be a member on the site.    Look up fat paddle. Always wanted to try one.
