Default new exhaust on the Gladius : Arrow

got it from indysuperbikes for $250 delivered, took a few weeks as it came in from italy, but man does it sound nice. nice deep rumble, all I4 sound like crap compared to v-twins IMO, sounds like a small block cheby

AMEN!

It's definitely good looking, but being a Monster owner, I can't help but think the Zuk designers did a little copy and paste.

Looks good, Ed. I love my Arrows on my Speedy - deep, low and bellowing.

Dude, the first gen SV was about as close as you can come to a Japanese Monster.

I had someone ask if mine was Suzuki-Ducati!

I'm talking about looks alone... look at the second picture of his versus mine. Trellis frame, cast sub, cast footpeg bracket, the headlight? The 696 was a 2008 model. The Gladius was a 2009 model.
