Title: Marving Exhaust! Check it out! Post by: slauster on March 18, 2010, 08:18:42 AM Hey, I was brave and bought the Marving Cone exhaust for my s2r 800. Here are some pics.
Sound clips are yet to come. My bike is being a "finicky" ducati right now and won't start. [bang] But here ya go!

Here are some pics from the back side. I noticed that it is not even on both sides. I remember reading that being one of the qwerks about the set up.

I bought it off of ebay for $14 and chopped away! I tried to follow the lines from the support arms all the way around. Then I had it painted with the seat cowl. I am really pleased with how it turned out. Thanks.

Post by: stopintime on March 18, 2010, 11:40:47 AM I'm guessing the different positions left/right is due to the stock passenger footrests being further out on the right side. These exhaust would normally mount to those, wouldn't they?
That front fender is gorgeous [thumbsup] Really nice work. Title: Re: Marving Exhaust! Check it out! Post by: slauster on March 18, 2010, 12:03:01 PM stopintime- good observation. I never thought about that. but it makes sense.
thanks Title: Re: Marving Exhaust! Check it out! Post by: COP TZR on May 27, 2010, 07:43:06 AM I'm admiring your crafty work on that front fender. I don't have a spare to tinker with, so I'll need to build some courage and tackle mine.
Title: Re: Marving Exhaust! Check it out! Post by: gOoIe B on May 27, 2010, 09:27:17 AM your bike is wonderfully darkened. When I was disassembling to powdercoat my parts, my first idea was to go this route and black everything out. I ended up changing my mind on the color, but seeing yours done just reaffirms to me that it would've looked lovely. How did you paint the jugs? did you have to drop the engine?
The exhaust also looks tits, but something should certainly be done about evening up the side-to-side spacing. Title: Re: Marving Exhaust! Check it out! Post by: uglyducky on May 27, 2010, 09:56:21 AM holy crap. the darkness. looks amazing man. pipes are the deal too! [clap]

I'd remove the sticker on the fork. Title: Re: Marving Exhaust! Check it out! Post by: slauster on June 02, 2010, 02:02:11 PM Hey thanks all.
As far as blacking things out...it was duplicolor brake caliper paint and a little bit of accuracy!!! There is a little up-keep if you get a chip but really it is not that bad. As far as the sticker on the forks. I stuck it on and I underestimated the adhesive. If it comes off so does the vinyl. NOT wanting to tackle the vinyl wrapping again! |
