If there was a way to un-blue them... black ceramic???
Why are the tires Saran wrapped? Are they gonna spoil?
Its like a Star Wars figure in the blister pack.....if you take it out the value drops 30 percent. I think the pop rivet that hold it together looks like crappy pants too.....all that time and money spent on titanium with fancy welds, and they use a Home Depot rivet to hold it together.
The exhaust I ordered is titanium and has plenty of sections, but doesn't resort to pie cuts for the bends. I had a Werkes exhaust with pie cut titanium on a different bike a year or two ago and one of the mounting bracket bolts wiggled loose, allowing the exhaust to wiggle a bit. I noticed it immediately, but before I could even get to a stopping point, the exhaust broke at one of the pie cut sections.
Took it to a local welder and he said the pie cuts looked really pretty but made it weak. So I'm not a big fan of that kind of thing anymore.
Where did you source yours please??

I contacted them directly. It took me about a week to wire the money since I had never done it before, but they prepared the exhaust and everything while that was happening. Shipped it out the day the funds cleared.
They also threw in the rearsets for pennies on the dollar since they weren't sure if the exhaust would work with the stock ones. Got the 3/4 system and STM rearsets for 4800-ish USD, including shipping and tax.
Can you elaborate on what the "3/4" system is? They've quoted me close to 4k for stainless and 6k for Ti FULL systems...?
stock headers, like the arrow.

When did they give you that quote?
3/4 system means it re-uses the stock front headers, so it's just the latter 3/4 of the entire system. Means you don't have to remove the front wheel/radiator and all that jazz to install it.
They don't sell a stainless version as far as I know. They quoted something like 3800 euros for the 3/4 and 4100 euros for the full system originally. It's all titanium.
