It's all in the prep work and the finishing work. Course, all my power tools are in storage, so lots of elbow grease in this job.

Started off looking like this:

Anyway, I felt the need to brag. :thumbup:

Beautiful! :thumbup:

Your muffler modification: was it a kit, or did you do some of your own tube-bending?

That's a Akrapovic titanium full exhaust system for my 04 GSX-R750. :) My FZ6 bit the dust awhile ago. I just lurk around here. :Lurking:

d'Oh! I now see, from the front fairing, that its not an FZ at all. The rest of the mods looked like they could've been a Yamaha... :eek:

Yeah, I've seen similar mods. Powerbronze fairings, tail section, R6 fork swaps and all that. That'd have been a lot of work on the exhaust though. I would have been proud of that too. :) Custom bending, welding, new mounting brackets at least.

But, in your defense, I did pull all the big GSX-R logos off. They were cheap and starting to crack/fade.

The tips are orange and wrap around so you can see them from the front. They do kind of look like it in the pics tho. lol.

Idk, tho. All the GSXR guys say I lost at least 5hp taking them off. :don'tknow:
