Tailgunner exhaust
My buddy wants to but a tail gunner exhaust on his bike (SV650). Has anyone seen this? I think it's pretty silly. He wanted me to post and get opinions cause he swears it's pretty sweet. Should I smack him or is there something wrong with me?

Without seeing and hearing it in person, it would be hard to judge. Looking at their website, they aren't my cup of tea. Love the description though: "utilizes our special 6" fully packed fiberglass Power-Baffle in conjunction with our axial flow twin turbines. Big Performance - Big Sound - Enormous cool factor."
Axial flow twin turbines? WTF? Sounds like that Tornado thing you put on a carb to increase power.

He needs more than a , more like a 
or a 
for even considering the idea.
Take him down into the bilge and give him some bulkhead counseling for considering those for a V-twin or any sportbike.

I agree completely - I think you should take his bike away from him. For the common good, of course. Maybe he could put those pipes on a nice pastel Vespa?

Let me first say that I would NEVER put this on my Hawk, or any other sport bike for that matter. That being said, I can see it on a full out custom chopper or streetfighter IF and ONLY IF, the entire bike was themed accordingly.

Yeah but the guns were just to make the other soldiers feel better about themselves. In reality, Chuck Norris is faster than any bullet and more powerful than any gun. True story

If he does the tailgunner exhaust, ask him if he is going to use these frame sliders?

I saw a 05 R1 with them a couple weeks ago. They are badass. Very loud too, they sound like D&Ds. Might be a little overkill on a little SV650, but if he can hook it up so they shoot flames too, I'll ride with him.
