maybe its because I am used to the way the stocker looks under my R but most of the aftermarket exhausts out there make the bike look rather tall, not saying that they look bad at all, just strange in their own way.

Once the big stock muffler is off you realize how compact the 1125 is

I have always liked the minimalist look of an 1125 with an aftermarket can. That is why I was never a fan of the look of the Torque Hammer. They were trying to maintain the aesthetic of the stock exhaust but didn't pull it off so well.

I've scared off deer with the stock exhaust and the same technique. These big v-twins are just loud bikes and an open exhaust is just ridiculous.

I was thinking about getting one too.
It looks like there's a lot of space between the bottom of the engine and the exhaust.
Will this fit with the flexiglass bellypan?

I don,t think a bellypan will fit it is a inch lower then the stock pipe and I had to change the brackets for the lowers

Jrfitzny -- It should fit. The pipe is 2.5" and there's about an inch between it and the motor when mounted, maybe a little more. Should be the same as stock at the lowest point for ground or bellypan clearance, so if it fits with the stock exhaust, then it should fit fine with these.

7" wide. I can extend the tips out some if you want, but they normally fall within the line of the muffler body.
