They posted a dyno chart for it. 5.3HP increase (7.7%).

I know you can't really feel 5HP on a car, but how is it on a motorcycle? I'm still hoping to hear a clip of the exhaust because the sound really the main factor for me...not too interested in performance gains.

On a bike this size you can feel 5hp, won't be like you threw a nitrous switch but you can tell. I'm actually liking stealth mode so no loud pipes on this bike. My last bike was a Honda VTX1300 cruiser that I put Cobra low-boy staggered pipes on and unbaffled it, LOUD when I cracked it open, could set off car alarms which was kinda fun. But even though this bike isn't meant as a speed demon it has a sportbike look which to law enforcement if it has loud pipes makes it more conspicous and more of a target to get pulled over so I'll stay stealth as I really don't want to give the state of RI, or CT, MA or any other state more of my hard earned money than I have to

Any update on whether the flush mount blinkers or fender eliminator are specifically designed for the FZ6R?

I can attest to these front signals.
eBay Motors: 2002-2008 Yamaha YZF R6 R6S R1 CHROME FLUSH LED SIGNALS (item 330322709497 end time Apr-23-09 01:15:06 PDT)

This was the best price I found, @ $30 with shipping. They fit perfectly and look great. I'll have a picture up soon. They do come in other colors too, but the chrome looked best on the white bike.

As for the fender eliminator, I used a generic one and "massaged" it. Looks good and was cheap (again, pics soon), but took more planning and work than a simple bolt-on replacement.

Thanks! I just ordered them. I couldn't stand the look of my turn signals. I think the chrome should look good with the black.

For the Raven I'd go chrome or smoke. Either way it will look nice. All depends on if you want flash or stealth.

Hope you like 'em, they are easy to install.

As promised, here are pics of the lights and FE.

The FE was one I picked up at CycleGear. The white one was on sale for $8, so it made sense. The lights were @ $25, but they have a neat feature of amber sides, so they are visible even to those next to me. Also the screws for the plate have LEDs so they illuminate the plate. Those were $20.

Where did you get the FE from? Did I miss the link? Looks awesome!

I had to bend the bracket a bit to put it at the right angle for reading the plate, but it wasn't too hard.

FYI, one of my favorite online shops just sent the newsletter with the Two Brothers exhaust. They have them for $800 - $875. Still not cheap, but a better price than most.

Cool thanks for the link....after I get more used to my bike, I will order this exhaust. I just wish I could hear a sound clip first.

Good call this is going to the top

I'd really like to see a torque curve on a dyno graph with this 2bro's (or even stock!)...

I just found this link for some very nice (but very expensive) parts for the fz6r. Not sure when they will be available to the US market but something to keep an eye out for. Interesting shot of the handlebar showing the UK version with a hazard button - Hmmm....

Here's a rear fender (painted) that looks pretty slick. Wish they had a shot of the entire bike. Not cheap so hopefully someone here in the states will rock one out soon.

That rear fender is super sexy, guess i am going to have to add that to my personal economical stimulus package.

I contacted Rumble Concept on the phone about 2 weeks ago regarding the Fender Eliminator. They told me it was in R&D and should be available in about a month. That was 2 weeks ago...so hopefully something soon!

 

[jbond]

Does anyone else feel the need the change out the mirrors?! Any options out there? Something lower possibly...
