After I acquired the 996 there was a lot of banter about stubbying the Termis on it as it didn't have the same roar to it as our Sv. It was never an option but having seen this bike on ebay I'm really glad I didn't do it.

I reckon if you extended the pipes, moving the cans back to where they should naturally finish (ie, in line with the bodywork), then it wouldn't be too bad.

As is though, completely sh*te.

How to spoil the looks of an absolute work of art in 1 easy lesson. The person responsible wants Horse whipping & his testicles sqeezing in a vice until they pop.

Harsh, but fair.

+1 to lining 'em up.

If the cans were hidden in the cowling and the exhaust ends stuck through out the back of the faring. That would have looked cool.

As it is. It just looks stupid.

Pete a better thing to do would be to strip the cans down and chop the perforated tube in half. Replace the front half of the perforated tube with a solid one.

Stubby noise, but keep the looks.
