Very nice S2R800 . . .


The exhaust looks good with the udder painted black to match the fairing.

Somebody remind me why I should shell out $1100.00 for Boomtubes or an X-box?

Because udders are just ugly.....this person just did a great job of hiding that. I like the headlight....I have a soft spot for the MT-03 headlight, looks good on just about everything. Any pics from the front?

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Yes, udders are ugly, but I don't see that the X-box looks remarkably better than an udder. The Boomtubes do look great, though, but I can't justify the price.

So the udder is on stock but those custom mini-cans aren't expensive to have custom made?

There are plenty of GP style cans out there for sale; I've seen them from $250 - $750, but then it's a matter of fabrication which involves welding and should involve some sort of support near the middle - end of the cans.
So $600.00 total? Oops, then you need to buy a fairing for $200 + and paint it black along with the udder so it hides the ugliness of the udder. 

Of course, then you won't have the weight savings of punting that udder into the parts bin & replacing it with a header pipe and some shorty gp style cans.
