I just got some black Arrow slip ons for my Monster 1100.  I haven't seen pics of these out there yet, so I thought I'd share a couple.




Got them from Jen at DucatiOmaha...Carbon and Ti are neat, but these are the same price as aluminum, and I think they look serious.

I was checking these out for my black 1100 but the LV's came out on top. 

Those really look good though.   [thumbsup]

Best looking exhaust I have seen for the new Monsters.  Very nice!

Wow, those look really nice! But you seriously need more shit in your garage! Way too clean and I can actually see the floor. WTF??? [laugh]

They sound similar to the S2R Arrows with the baffles out = LOUD.  It is a glorious noise, deep and velvet-smooth.  But wth the baffles out they are noticeably louder than Termis!

So I tried with the baffles in.  With the baffles in they may be quieter than stock.

To find the right balance I cut the baffles down to about 1/3 of their original length.  It is now about half as loud as no baffles and I like it.  If I need more noise I can cut a bit more off.



Also, it runs better everywhere and I didn't notice any fueling hiccups at all, but I haven't cut the airbox lid yet.

Hey crimsoncloak, did these arrows come with two sets of tips?  The Cycleworks website shows two style of tips, I prefer the ones that you have, but I'm not sure how to differentiate between the two.  TIA

crimsoncloak

The black Arrows are actually only available with the tips shown.  I tried to get carbon tips but Arrow wouldn't go for it.

In this pic, it looks like there are two tip options.  I prefer the lower tip, which I think is what you have.  I was curious what each was called.

If I'm not mistaken, those are two totally different mufflers... the bottom is shorter than the top and the exhaust diameter looks larger on the bottom as well.  Could be why the tips are different.
