I know!!!! Very "Aprilia Mille" or "Devil". I asked Renegade about this style and it adds $150 or so to the cost. I am also trying to get a deal on some Arrow Mille shotgun pipes (from my friend who is selling his Mille). But be aware this setup is not the lightest. It sure looks cool though!!!

I thought the idea of modifying you Street Moto, Black Panther or Mastiff was to make it lighter!.
This system looks even heavier and uglier than the standard system.

awww, keith...

I think those pipes look great. But like I said, it's heavy. However the pipes I am after are carbon so the net is much lighter than stock.

If you wanted a lighter SM shoulda got a KTM...
or a plain looking SM why didntcha just buy a Honda? :-D

The photos I saw of this same bike it also has cast wheels... those are both heavy and ugly too. That guy should have just bought a Duke II! hahaha ;-)

I actually brought the MZ because it was cheap to buy, has Jap reliability and easy to maintain myself. Plus its the most comfortable SM I have ridden. Now all I have to do is mod it so its a bit lighter.
Junked the original exhust rear grab rails and pillion pegs for now. More to go later, maybe an ally sub frame next.
