I like how there's not a Y pipe. There is probably an ideal length before a collector, and it would be easy to do an "H" between the pipes where ever the ideal point is...

Looks good.

That exhaust is pretty sick, but the rest of the bike is yucky....those cowls are hideous and the little cutout in the solo cowl looks dumb....hopefully this isnt your bike LOL? If so, I apologize.

I like it ! Looks more aggressive than a stock CR. Not sure how functional Those cut down pods are, might not be as efficient compared to the stock ones. But the tail looks good.

Sure looks like it has an attitude !

yeah, the exhaust system is really cool!
anyway, final price for all you can see in this photo is:

595euro for pods and what's behind + flyscreen.
115euro for the solo seat
exhaust is 1200euro and more probably.

but if you want only the fiberglass parts... it's a good final price. Only thing, you have to paint it!

anyway i posted some oteher pics of this bike times ago..






(I think the stock bike is as cool as this..I love my bike!!)

Umm...same as the bottom one.

And there is no "ideal" of any part of a header design. Much like the intake, it's a compromise of a lot of ideals.

Where I'm at radiators without scoops = meltdown.
These don't look bad but don't do it for me.
I'd like to see some slightly restyled full scoops offered.

I don't dislike it, but I don't think the bodywork really adds anything.

Ummmm... pretty sure he means the exhaust in the top picture of the thread, the original post, which is clearly not the same as the Termigoni that Palmer posted later on.

I, too, would like to know which exhaust is in the top picture.

07xb -

Sorry bout that. Thought you men't the top of that post.

If it's the one in the Free Spirits site bike, they don't even list it in the exh. section.

Those front pod covers really do look like lobster claws on that one... lol

Overall, I still like the look of the stock black one. There's something about the red one that I've just never liked.

i'm really courious 'bout the exhaust system. I'll try to write an email to freespirits, or give them a call. Maybe it's only a prototype, I haven't found it on their catalog. As far as I know they already mounted an HP reverso on a 25r.

Ok, the exhaust in the top picture (red bike) will be available in the next couple of weeks (you can order from us of course: ) ). We are just waiting for final pricing etc.
It is a development of the prototype 'reverso' system that Free Spirits used on their 1125R race bike last season, although for road use it wasn't possible to keep the reverse layout as it clashed with the side stand.
The new pipe will make excellent power and we'll hopefully have some charts available soon for it.

"Ok, the exhaust in the top picture (red bike)(...)It is a development of the prototype 'reverso' system"

the headers look sick!
Free Spirits are always a step up in the Buell customization, in my opinion.
BTW, this is how I'd do my CR, if I had one...

I love the look of the exhaust on the red bike,however, it looks like the mid pipes are hanging pretty low? I imagine a good size speed bump could cause a real problem?

Got a question for whoever might have the answer. Does that new pod design provide better cooling? I'm more a function over form guy. I don't think their especially good looking but if they work better than stock I'd definitely consider getting them. Thanx
