Everything re-installed last night with no issue. Yes, currently running stock exhaust rear section. Results: Overall pretty solid gains, especially in the midrange 6k rpm or so, on up. Butt dyno agrees, a few ponies gained. Some improvement in throttle response too, but hiccup from instant...

how many mi on the 2bros cans, and how loud was this setup? where can i find the y pipe and clamps? anything else needed? interested

Found his post, but the photobucket pics are dead. Decided this is the route I'm going to go too, hack up stock midpipe and weld in a straight section. Sourced some 1-3/4" straight exhaust pipe @Orielly's for $7bucks, and got a deal on a nice alum handle hacksaw for $10bucks Lowes. Comparable...

So I've seen aftermarket decat mid pipes for sale, and have read mostly positive results about them. But has anyone tried to just gut and decat the stock catted midpipe?? it looks very easily doable, yet not much discussed. search isnt showing up any results either. anybody?

Thinking about selling my Delkevic exhaust. Has maybe 300mi on it, barely used. Going a different direction with the bike. This exhaust is LOUD with or without silencers (have silencers installed). Check out reviews, threads, or youtube to get a better idea. The look is sick tho, really makes...

In short: My FZ6 has leaky fork seals. Have a friend who recently bought a 2009 Yamaha R6S, who plans to replace his front with R1 forks. SO his R6S forks may be available, however one of them is leaking too. Would the R6S forks be an upgrade over stock 2004 FZ6 forks? They're both...

Cool. Let me know your paypal too, and I don't mind adding another $5bucks or something, just to make it worth your while.Thanks!

Thanks for the responses folks, good point about the vibes between alum vs steel bars, didn't think about that. Kind of picky on looks since I plan to go naked eventually, and as comfortable as the FZ1 bars might be, I really don't care for the drag-bar look. the FZ6R bars look much more up my...

Genius! So glad I got to page2 and saw the sparkplug method. 5/8plug socket for a freakin buck at advance auto! Toolworks 3/8 Drive 5/8" Spark Plug Socket TW2741: Advance Auto Parts def gonna try this route first. thx for the ideas yall
