I'm sorry twins shotgun fashion look nasty, it looks cheap, but at the same price as one each side.

Ive seen your tastes in exhausts, Gio.. :smt002

I have to completely disagree with you Gio. Shotguns look the dogs bollix.

No matter what manufacturer theyre made by :smt001

You also need to check your prices. Shotguns made by our mutual acquaintance are cheaper than twin cans left and right of the bike. :smt019

Factually as well as stylistically incorrect then, Gio! :smt003 :smt002 :smt002

Each to their own, but having seen Vineys Sv with them, I'll stick by what I said.

Theyre completely different on an Aprilia. The larger bore pipe carries the look of well.

Sv? I know exactly what you mean. The pipe looks too spindly giving the cans a..cheap tacky look.. :smt009 However the larger bore stuff ala Aprilia Mille looks completely different.

Nope have to disagree with those of you who say they're not nice. I've seen and heard them on a Falco and they are awesome (IMHO of course)

Gio, back on the original theme, I think the Blackbird looks good. :smt004 :smt004
Then again I've always liked them.

He'll be taking you literally Howard ... not only will the Mille exhaust disappear but the Rotax lump will be replaced by a Honda I4 ....

Urgh! Those twin shotgun cans look HORRIBLE!!! :smt016
The Hi Level, (or better yet the mythical underseat pipes), are way more suited to the Falco imo and show off the Mille swinger, (whichever year you choose); Both sides as well! :smt033
Some very nice machines on ere; Top thread TN! :smt023
@Bigun; Yours is coming along great mate! Love the red wheels! (Bastich; I was gonna do that!...) :smt002

OK let's clear this up......

The only thing that looks right on a big Vee is twin shiney ovals - one each side at normal height.

This is what I have and this is what most people have and there is a good reason for it.......... it looks awesome !!

It shouts out " BIG VEE " and for this reason I dislike similar arrangements on IL4s. They look better with 4 - 1 systems.

That's it. I have spoken. Shut up. :smt003 :smt003
