I have to agree with you, Bently. I searched high & low until I found exactly what I wanted. I wanted a black non-oval canister that was the just the right size @ a good price. This setup nailed it. The other exhausts that were close to purchase...CSOne Black by V&H and Leo Vince Black----problem is that they are both bolt ons. I actually considered an Akro header with both of those systems. In the end, it boiled down to cost. I picked this one up for used $700 and it had less than 1000 miles on it. I will post up some cleaner pics when the weather gets better. Its actually raining here in UAE...go figure.

Thanks for the input, I hope not, I think they'd look pretty nice on a White 14R.
A touch of black carbon fiber to accent the white.

I was impressed when I saw the white up close. The pictures I've seen online just don't do it justice. As for the carbon fiber and white....Great Combo!

Quick follow up on the TiForce. The install was straight forward.
The midpipe was less than 1/8" off my lowers. I tried reworking the exhaust hanger and a few other tricks, but it still didn't make much difference. I trimmed about 1/2" off the lower fairing. For anyone who doesn't know, there is a difference in the passenger pillions on the 2012's because they have a passenger foot guard.
Before I cut it:
Here's the stock hanger: I was looking to make room on the exhaust, so I trimmed the corners. I went ahead and reinstalled the foot guard to mask my poor Dremel skills.

Tried to make a little more room for the plastics, but it didn't make much/any difference. I still wound up trimming the lowers.

I had a TiForce on my 2006 bike, the bike in my avatar. It was well made and easy to install. One of the first 14's in the world over 200mph in September 2006.
Having said that, the Brock CT I've just fitted to my 2012 bike is gorgeous and I'd choose it over the TiForce any day.

I have the Ti-Force on the Gen 2 motor that's in my Gen 1 frame. The #4 tube does contact the front of the oil pan which doesn't allow the mid pipe bolt hole to align with the hole in the frame. I would love to try a different exhaust to see the difference but that will just have to wait.

Thanks for the kind words Bob C.
TiForce makes a nice pipe. But, you can look at all of the differences we have incorporated - far more ground clearance to lower the bike, merge collectors instead of tube collectors (more power), our 'twisted' muffler for additional cornering clearance and see all of the work we put into our system... And those are 'obvious differences', there are quite a few more we don't really make public
