interestingly he did that exhaust before the new 696 appeared too.



That exhaust is similar to the MH900E. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay before the 696...

Ho-ly crap...

That was an outrageous amount of work. I mean did you see the exhaust, he definitely should have found a tubing bender to use for some of that.

Yes, it was a ton of work, but I'm sure he gets a great deal of satisfaction from knowing it's his work. I really don't know how else he could have made the pipe though, thin-wall titanium tubing isn't very easy to bend, especially a tight radius. The few factory made Ti pipes you see for sale will have some bends in them, but you can be assured that many feet of expensive tubing was destroyed developing the correct procedure to bend the tubing. For a one-off exhaust system, sectioned and welded is the way to go. I like it myself, it has that "works bike" look.

Holy Michael Angelo that is awesome. Way better than Rolands Sand's HM
I remember seeing techs weld up headers like that for BMW Touring Cars.
Beatiful exhaust plumbing  [thumbsup] That is a true custom not a catalog queen.
