New helmet/mods!!!

Nice, I'll have to take a look at their stuff. I understand what you mean though, it'll get done in due time, I guess. haha, This week it's in the hight 70's - low 80's so it's getting to where it'll be consistantly warm instead of every now and again. I've been looking for places to have a custom jacket made, but I'm not finding too much. Looks like I'll be using my same jacket for a while with the way things are shaping up!

So I got my TwoBros exhaust yesterday, and installed it last night! For some reason it had some scuffs and paint chips on it, so they're sending me a new end cap. Over the past few days I aso did a few smaller mods, airbox mod, emoved ALL of the stickers, emblems, graphics from the bike. looks MUCH cleaner now! Plasti-dipped the Rad-covers, and also the clamps for the exhaust, I don't like silver/chrome accents. haha, I'll end up doing the passenger pegs, and I might powdercoat the rearsets, but I think I'll probably just end up buying some adjustable ones. They would definitely help make it more comfortable.

I took out the plastic tray from under the seat, and cut the extra length off the ends. Took the end piece, cut it down, and then epoxy'd it back in to keep anything from sliding out.

Might go back and cut the side by the seat lock back some more, but it'll do for now.

The frame stickers left behind an out line that I can't get rid of. Used adhesive remover, and cleaner, but it's still there. Can't feel it either. Any suggestions?

You can see the PlastiDipped rad-covers here too. ^

Two Bother's Black Series Carbon Fiber Slip Ons have arrived!

Some scuffs and chips? WTF?!

They're sending me a new endcap, so I installed everything. Looks AMAZING, and sounds even better!!

Looks much better with the clamps in flat black instead of the raw aluminum they came in.

Removed the vinyl graphics from the front fender, and the Yamaha emblems from the tank.

Wow! That exhaust looks killer! I would love to have that on my bike, but MAN is it expensive!

Thanks man, I agree!! Best looking and sounding exhaust out for our bikes, in my opinion!

I didn't pay the $1200 retail price for it though, I got it from this website for $795 shipped, got it two day shipping, and their customer service is amazing!

Two Brothers Racing Yamaha FZ6 (2004-09) M-2 V.A.L.E. Dual Slip On Exhaust :: MotorcycleGear.com

They have all the models starting at $650 for the aluminum going up. Check it out!

Here are a few pictures for the air box mod. I didn't have a dremel, or saw, or drill available, so I used a razor blade to cut everything out, and smooth it down a bit.

Probably a little more time consuming to do with a razor, but it's all I had. haha, If you attempt to do it that way, BE CAREFUL!! It was really easy for the blade to slip, and I came close to cutting myself a few times.

I haven't really noticed a difference on how the bike responds, or the sound (which is what I was hoping for) I hate that high pitched sound it makes!
