Unfortunately not for the S2R*, S4R* nor Hypermotard, Sportclassic, etc . We can custom modify a production BoomTube system though based upon time/materials quote.
If/when we can ever find a Northwest enthusiast with a 696/1100, we will do BoomTubes as well as a unique underseat exhaust system arrangement for these.
i think you should pack up your tools come to germany and taka e vacation. then you could use my bike. |

I got my boom tubes two days ago. I finally got time to install them today. Personal opinion, they look awesome! I did have Mark do some additional modifications so review the picture with the following in mind: 1) I thought the stock boomtubes ones looked a little too long (they stick out too much). I didnt know if this would impact lean angle either so I requested them to be chopped about 1 3/8 inches. 2) I didnt like the fact that the inside pipe (closer to the front wheel) looked longer than the back outside pipe (closer to the back wheel). It generated an angle that to me didnt go with the lines of the bike. I requested them to be chopped at angle to run parallel to the center line of the bike. Mark did this perfectly. 3) I didnt like the cone pipes. Mark provided some options and custom fabbed me a set For comparison purposes I have linked a previous photo posted by duccarlos so your guys can see the differences.   Here are photos of my slightly modified boomtubes  |

VERY NICE. i think you did some great mods to an already great product. now just remove the frame stickers, take off your side panels and rerun your oilcoller line  |

I agree 150% ! Those pipes def. "flow" with the bike much more.. Might have to go this route on my bike (with black pipes though)... |

+2 I just emailed Mark @ MotoCreations to see what a set of pipes like the ones above would run (with ceramic coated black pipes and brushed tips). If all is well I will be ordering up a set ASAP.. |

DAMNIT! Someone in the NW part of the states needs to man the F- up and drop their 696 off at MotoCreations so they can work on a set for the 696. If I had all the time in the world I would personally ride up from Texas to get it done.

boomtubes have varying amounts of backpressure, depending on how you request them to be baffled. I would recommend you hit up Mark at MotoCreations for all your boomtube inquiries; he's been able to answer all the questions I had about them, so he should be very helpful for you as well. I should add he's very honest too; just because he makes the boomtubes doesn't mean he's gonna feed you a bunch of BS just to sell his product. Just tell him what you want and he can steer you in the right direction.
1+ dude knows his stuff, and will go out of his way to honestly answer all your questions. |

Anyone have a video of a bike riding/under load with a set of BoomTubes on them ?
If not I will get one posted once my bike is back together..
