I'm impressed - a very neat looking job.

But its weird seeing an 'SS' without any side pipes!

Did the number plate melt and drop off, 916s, 999s etc look beter without their number plates but its not a good idea to ride around without them. Does look weird from the side and may not look as good from the back when un street legal trim

I'd also worry about the heat from the exhaust going so close to the rear shox - and I thought Aprillias were bad !!!!

I lurve it!!!
I wonder how it's been done though...I thought that perhaps I could do it on mine but was told that it would have to be specially made as Ducati pulled the kit that they used to manufacture...:)

Underseat exhausts are a naff fashion gimmick & hoplessly compromised. The look good on 916s, KTM Dukes but NOTHING else. Underseats will be consigned to history soon enough, when every Jap factory is turning out belly-pan mounts a la KTM RC8.

This one is particularly bad; it doesn't even follow the line of the bodywork.

I'm with you on that 3narf.
Although the MV I think is another exception.

And the 999...

not for me thanks.

i reckon every bike manufacturer should follow honda's lead with the most important technical development of the 20th century: the pop-up boot :D

can't be doing with under-seat exhaust, i mean where do ya put your sarnies?

still wouldn't kick a 916 out of bed though . . . . .
