RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !
Jon B,
Here is another thing to consider - in this day of digital software imaging, it is very easy (and unintentional) to make things appear to be something very different. Here is Bill's pic "flipped" 180 degrees, the exhaust now appears to be one the normal side. Perhaps the pic of the Saito 180 that you saw was flipped too. And for the record, I am NOT suggesting that Bill did that to his pic.
This reminds me of a pic I saw of a guitarist on the cover of a music mag in mid 1970's. The guy was a well known right handed player but somewhere in the printing room of the magazine, they accidently placed the film negative the wrong way around & "hey presto", Billy Blogs became a left hand guitarist.
