Motown, that right there looks awesome brother! I'm loving the look of the bazooka brother. I'd love to hear that beast. Your sled is looking SIC and definitely is working that blk/wh mojo!!

Default I Love That Pipe!

I like the way it turned out, I also went with a discontinued exhaust so Im not too worried about seeing a bunch of them at the next bike night.

All I need now is the impossible to find needle in a haystack shark fin tip for the canister.

Tee&Vee, do you mean my old exhaust? Yeah, its for sale.

Thanks for the kind words everyone!
Kudos for going a different rout! Nothing wrong with cholos. I almost went with V&H tru duals (not the same as cholos but I am trying to stay a little more old school) but decided that a 2:1 was more in keeping with the direction of my scoot. I did go with the fishtail but would actually love an end cap like what you have. I like the fish tail but I think the one I have is not the best design in terms of look.

What diameter is your muffler? Maybe the tip on mine would work on yours? If so, you could order one from Supertrapp. Not sure if the mounting hole would line up but you might be able to modify it.

Here's my pipe. It's a Supertrapp Internal Disc Series.

Motown I am digging the pipe and i like the idea of the shark fin tip it is old school. your best bet to find what you want is probably making it or having someone make it.
