That was about as easy and painless a mod as it gets... 15 minutes and half of that was getting the damned exhaust valve cables out!
These are loud but no where near the hyped level I've been hearing about. They sound SWEET! Even my wife said they aren't that loud. ![]() ![]() stock-exh.jpg tb-exh.jpg

The Ti canister looks GREAT! It goes real well with the color of the wheels very nicely.
So what does the butt dyno say? Faster, same? So what's next? PC5? Power Commander V Support, Find Installation Guides and Maps |

No butt dyno yet. ![]() If you can afford it, you should have one of these. It really is an amazing bike and CrazyBiker is right... everything you touch on the bike is higher quality than the FZ6. This is a well engineered work of art. PC5 will be asked for for Xmas along with a K&N air filter and maybe the velocity stacks.

You're right about the quality of the parts vs. the 6, night and day. That is one thing about the 6 I didn't like, the big parts were very nice, motor, frame, wheels, brakes, etc. The small parts were cheap looking, shift and brake levers, cables, fittings, muffler cover... |

Too bad NH is going the way of CA, well too bad for the bike, great for the atmosphere I guess. I would have gutted the cat while right there too. More to come... I'll have some pics tomorrow of another mod I did tonight.

Yesterday was the first full test not only for me, but for my wife to follow me. It went GREAT! We had the Scala Q2 headsets on and was talking the whole trip. Not once did she complain that my exhaust was too loud.
SOTP eval: First gear... you know when you hit about 9k and the front of the bike starts to lift? Well, this just knocked off almost 1k... I left a light in 1st and didn't let up. At just over 8k, the front was off the ground. Seems she can breathe a little easier out the back PLUS she lost a lot of weight. It is raining right now so no chance of me getting out with the video camera for a ride. It does give me time to get some pics of the home-made mod I did last night and get that thread going.
