gthyni Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Found Ninja Looks nice: I have requested some more info, anyone seen/heard these in real life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janusz Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 I do not want to sound negative and besides it is just my opinion but... I do not like the look on this bike. It looses its balance and looks no different then a woman pulling up the bottom of her skirt. Might be interesting on the first look but the whole elegance is gone.

gthyni Posted August 10, 2003 Author Share Posted August 10, 2003 Well, tastes differ, luckily. I think the higher placement of the pipes is nice. I would like to see a picture from behind, I expect it to be much slimmer from behind since the slipons don't have to go "around the final drive. Perhaps it even poosible with some tail mods to get close to a "Ducati Superbike look": Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Minnaert Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 I don't like the sillencer positioned like this, as you want it this high, it should follow the lines of the tail, what's not the case here. Also the pipe is very edgy, not "flowing" in the silencer. And this duc 916 look is classic by now, but the new thing is one silencer under the tail, see 999, cbr600rr, mgs01! Most 916 imitations were worse than the original, so why want it on a v11 where the tail is not high enough, to put much between tyre and tail.

zebulon Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 A friend got on his bike. The sound is really deep but really noisy It is really more than my RS with the complete Akrapovic exhaust. The way it is made is not really fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest northend Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 Or go with the titainiums from moto guzzi.They come with shorter passenger peg mounts,and a new ECM programed for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Minnaert Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 Why do you want silencers at the rear? The v11's line isn't made for high to the seat silencers. The 916 was designed to have them like that, as the mgs01. Altough I don't like the mgs01 pipe on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gthyni Posted September 28, 2003 Author Share Posted September 28, 2003 I probably go for something based on Supertrapp Megaphones like this: but the shaft drive make the arrangement a bit unsymmetric, so I am just looking at alternatives. One idea is use 3" Supertrapp IDS2s, which are very slim and should fit between the subframe and the rear wheel. But it is 90% chance that I will go with the classic megaphone look, at least this winter. The riding season is probably over now here up north the garage season begins as of now.
