Looks like Flatattack heads that are made in the Land Down Under but it looks like they're not available on the website here...

Loved everything about it but the fake "patina". Why do people do that?

I could listen to this over and over. What a sound, that flatty sucking air thru the 3 duces gives me a "chubby". COOL RIDE.
