Marving Exhaust! Check it out!

[slauster]

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.
But here ya go!

Looks sharp!  Say, is that a stock front fender thats been shortened front & rear?  I'd like more pics and info on that, please.

Thanks for the kind words guys.
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. 



Freaking CAT!

As far as the fender.  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.

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  Really nice work.

stopintime- good observation. I never thought about that. but it makes sense.
thanks

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.

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.

Sweet ride.  Very nicely done.

Nice looking bike!   

I'd remove the sticker on the fork.

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!
