Stubby exhaust for my hayabusa?

[Villers]

Ive wanted a different set of cans for the Hayabusa for a bit and Ive found these from JCEexhausts that I quite like. I'm wondering what you lot think since Ive never really liked stubby's but seeing these on a bike the same as mine I'm kind of enamoured...

Mine currently looks like this...

What do you think? To stubby or not to stubby that is the question!

i'm no expect but maybe a grey kinda exhaust with a name or something

Here is one with a stubby exhaust , personally doesnt look right.

And next a Blue flame dual port , looks nice and a bit more sporty in my view.

Makes the bike look "un-balanced" IMO.

actually the above guy is right. the small exhaust is like a big black man who has a very small penis.

go for a blue flame!

Stubby exhausts are a good way to get pulled and attract attention.

You really think those Police waiting in that layby wont pull you for the sake of it when they hear you coming and then give you a ticket...?

Maybe not right but it's the way it works. Something sporty but 'road-legal' ish seems to be ok if you must change the exhausts. Or why not consider spending all that money on suspension set-up, track days or a holiday?

[lydanial]

a friend of mine got a full akro system for his busa, converted it to a single exhaust.

now that looks good.

[Villers]

Ok the original pic has gone so its not much of a comparison anymore!

[Mr Nice Guy]

Just doesn't suit the 'busa.

I forgot just how long those bikes are, I think they should be called Suzuki Sausagedogsa's.

they do seem big but once its been there for a while you realise that its not that tall and not that long. Although it made my ninja look like a small childs toy!

Was a black Busa with 2 x Racefit growlers up MFN last year, looked bloody awesome, wouldn't like to think what the wallet looked like after though, if the can itself is quite thin then yes stubby cans will look nice but if it's quite a chunky can then stubbys don't look that good if you go too short.

Don't like stubbys on a faired bike but I quite like them on a naked bike

A busa is too big/long for stubbys imho.

Always thought they looked a bit 'chav'.

[Clanger]

I personally love stubby's, but then have never owned a faired bike, and would tend to agree with Polarbear - that stubby's look good on unfaired! So perhaps stick with something else.

Thanks for the opinions guys, seems the general opinion is against them. That means I'll have to think on it a bit. The price I can get them for is fantastic and like I said I'm not normally a fan of them but seeing them on my bike has changed my mind.

[Villers]

I don't doubt that G but Im not an elitist. Ive accepted that Im never going to be the worlds most amazing rider. I feel capable enough to ride at the level I want to on the road. I don't really want to head off to a track with a long journey each way just so I can risk stuffing the Hayabusa into a gravel trap in the search to get my riding to the point where I cant get to work 0.05 seconds faster through the bends!

Nink, stubbying always looks naff to me, and sounds worse too.

I you really must, I'd stick with standard length items, but retaining the twin outlets.

[Knacker]

Im going to buy another exhaust for the srad because im going to get the Scorpion stubbied and if it sounds shit ill find a nice place for it in the shed
