Nice looking pipes or box.
Certainly cleans up the look of the rear on the Multi-noodle.
Likely lot.

Looks to me like the Xbox lessens ground clearance a bit. Would this be an issue on the Monsters? Like on the track?

Yes ground clearance is an issue....I have scraped mine a few times now so I'm aware of the clearance. Once was over a speed bump a low speed, now I know to lift my bum. The second time was when I was pushing hard on a secondary road....hit a big lump of bitumen mid corner & the tail of the ex-box hit. Since then I've lifted the preload on the back end up a bit & so far so good. Plus its worth it for the cool look (if your that way inclined) & the sound! |

anyone like these pipes??  Not a fan of the welds on the cans though.
+1 on the welds. Although other than that I like em lots... Last time I saw that bike it was wearing Zards....  I however am in lust with the look of Boom Tubes.     And whilst the cheer squad back in the USA is a whoopin' and a hollerin' with rapturous enthusiasm, I cant help but wonder what effect on power output chopping the exhaust system in half would have. You dont see race bikes wearing such abbreviated systems now do ya, and I'm sure they'd be happy to save to the weight. So...... whats the trade-off? |

I think the Zards look pretty ugly in that context. The 1100 looks better with the other pipes (whatever they are?) And maybe the Boomtubes are just for looks rather than performance. But at least you wouldn't be scraping em.

Yeah I'd agree Heather looking at all those options the shotguns look the goods.
I did like the Zards when I first saw them. I like the minimal look of the Boomtubes, I am sure Mark
would not have let any loss of power affect the design of them.

Yup I agree with all of that Matty. Be nice to understand why most exhaust manufacturers need the whole thing yet with Boom Tubes I can apparently have cool, minimalist looks and yet lose no power  BTW the shotguns dont look so sexy here >>  From HPE, the manufacturer's own web site. |

Saw that colour at the Syd Bike Show - at the time it did start a rather robust conversation about what target market they were going after

Hey! What's wrong with pink vehicles?
But is that a real photo? I think I'd be reluctant to use the brake pedal on that bike in case it welded itself to a hot exhaust (doesn't quite look right to me).

I think it is a matter of depth from the photo - considering there is no background. Would be scary though drag a bit of back brake in a corner and it doesn't come up as like you said it welded itself to the pipe!  |

Ive been know to wear the odd Salmon coloured Polo shirt, but there is something a little off-putting about a Pink (or Lilac) Monster |
