S4 with 'boom tubes'
Just got my S4 back from the shop and wondered what you all think. I wantd to make the bike very industrial and raw. Hence its stripped pretty bare and exposed. The pipes are a little loud and after first ride today I think I;ll get pulled before long, if so I'll baffle them a little more.
The work that Nick Gale (NG CUSTOMS) has done is exceptional, the welds are incredible and the symetry of the work is awseome. I particularly like the end caps. Price wize they were not cheap when you consider its bacically a manifold!!!! To go on in a week a pair of DP rearsets, enjoy your weekend peeps LJ if someone would turn them into pics on the thread as I am an idiot and STILL don't know how to do it!! |

I'm guessing there similar volume to mine! I like it loud, and to rev it a bit sounds cool, but mine are just ott epically if your riding for more than 5 mins, it's like having your head in a drum!
The quality and curves of the exhausts look really good, also like the internal detail on the end. Last edited by Panther; 11-06-2010 at 10:03 PM.. |

yea the end caps are really nice, they did a gr8 job. But your right the noise is silly. I went past some cops today and had to close the clutch up. Its too loud for me, I like it loud but this is too much, I'll see how i go and then if its too much baffle it up more - Our bikes are looking v similar now !

did NG CUSTOMS say they will be about to make baffles easily for them?
Is the colour of the topyoke and headlight and rad, a clue to what colour the bike might change to over the winter? I'm surprised you left your tax disc on your bike and not put in in your wallet, that will help to clear up the lines Last edited by Panther; 11-06-2010 at 10:13 PM.. |

I guessing once the removable baffle has been made it can be modded to your desired volume. (increase the number of holes or change length?)

Not that easy, but possible as they've left enough length in the end. There is actually a pair in there but they need to be more substantial. Over winter I want to get the headstock, rear spring, engine casings, bottom yoke and rad cooler black, fit a motogadget clock to get rid of the OEM unit so it flows more. I'm really not a fan of the stock clocks think there plastic and cheap. Then do something with the swing but I'm not too sure what. Rear end of the frame needs a bit of touching up as well. Considered painting the wheels black but I think I'd regret it. I'm happy with the front but the back needs tidying up.

It looks awesome! Especially the exhaust tips and keep the wheels red! Actually paint the rest of the bike black and keep the wheels red

For me it's about black on black, or black with a cheeky bit of gold (where have I seen that before )
The monsters with a mat black tank looks sweet, very bad to the bone. Anyway there are so many options, I look forward to seeing your results. ------------------------------------------------------ I think the stock clocks on the new monsters are an improvement over yours. motogadget clock are nice but a bit to pricey for me. |

black - cowel, tank, oil cooler, engine casings, swing arm, levers, lower clamp, wheels, spring and then gold Ohlin forks (££££!!!)
I think that would be the way to go, prob is the ohlins, there too expensive |

Looking on ebay, you might eventual get some ohlins for a good price, do they have to be for a monster, what about from an aprilia? When ever I see a monster with gold forks, I get this little sound in my head saying I want, I want. |
