Yes, its custom. I did the work myself.  [thumbsup]  (my wife helped a lot)

I've also changed the bars, the seat, the footpegs and a whole bunch of other things. (still trying to decide on an exhaust)
I did a lot of the same kind of mods with my monster too. (but not a frame paint)


Love it
can I borrow your bike and your wife ;D

I like the SF better than the molecular thingamagic....not ready to trade my monster but the SF is definitely on the list when I find some extra space in the garage.

took a fully done up S version with termi pipes for an hour long test ride today.............my brain hurts bad. I can't see any practical purpose for it whatsoever............but god do I want one.

thankfully it's beyond my financial means for the forseeable future.

Someone probably already said this, but an SF with the 1100 2v engine and a couple of other slight changes would be the  [bacon]

Going to look funny in the area where the radiators were...

I come from the school of "Way too much power is just enuf, until I get used to it!"

Stock SF was fun for a while, but needed better fueling and more grunt. Now I have perfect fueling, and too much grunt on the SF, but every time I ride it, I know Im just one second away from a high speed pursuit.

It pretty much kicks the Angel on my right shoulder in the balls and lets the lil Devil fellar take over and get me in trouble.

Its gotta go for sale.. But for now, its the bee's knee's

Wanna really fall in love with a SF?  Ride behind one with this DoubleDog exhaust.  I had the pleasure last weekend. My God, did it sound awesome.  I swear I saw people throw themselves off the cliffs and into the Pacific to get away from the aural onslaught.   [evil]

The pics are Michael Moore's SF, with what I think is still a prototype DoubleDog.

I don't know about the looks of the DoubleDog. :-\

This is my favorite SF exhaust...Remus Hexacone 2-1. Looks and sounds awesome in person!  [thumbsup]

I am going to have to say, I am a huge fan of that pipe. Good work gentlemen.  [bacon]

Re looks . .  that Remus looks pretty good and I generally really enjoy their sound quality.  I still think the SF looks best with Termis.  I wasn't a fan of how the bike looked 'til I saw one with Termis on it.   [thumbsup]

I'm with ya.  I used to really dislike how it looked, but (a) I'm getting used to it, (b) it looks a ton better on the 1198 race bikes (Tigre is running one as is one of the DoubleDog engineers) and (c) this blackened version looks better than the prior iterations (like the one A M posted -- which I think is also Michael's SF). 

But the sound . . . oh, that sound.   [thumbsup]  It doesn't sound like a straight pipe--which is what you'd think--where it would give up sound quality and be too raspy and unrefined.  It still has a great sound quality, especially on throttle.  It sounds so good I could give shit what it looks like.  Did I mention loud though?  I ran into my rev limiter a coupla times last weekend while following Michael because I couldn't hear my own bike over the sound of his.  [evil]

That pic looks like it belongs in the back of a pick-up here in Alabama.  :D
Woohoohoohoo! Two personal records! For breath holding and number of sharks shot in the face.

The superbike setup looks superior in my book:

Yes, yes and no.  I'm assuming you did engineering based on the fact that you stated FSU/FAMU.  I did college and grad school at FSU Chemistry and now I'm a postdoc at the NHMFL.  That place ring a bell?



It's morning now, and I feel like I'm reading this thread for the first time... [drink] [coffee]  [popcorn]

I'm chiming in late here, but with whom do you work at NHFML?   Does Naresh Dalal still hang out there?  Tell him Dave Shultz says hi.
