Best Slip ON & Tire sites

[fighter13]

Just bought my 6R 2 days ago and looking at making a few changes. Hopefully I can get some help:

1. I want to put a slip on (ideally would love to do the whole exhaust but its not in the cards this year). I've been looking on craigslist and kijiji, but I want to know what bikes have a similar set up so I won't have to do too much retro fitting.

2. I read through a bunch of the tire threads and am even more confused then when I started. I need new tires, I do mostly city riding and am not overly aggressive, but occasionally I like to open her up on the weekend and get out of the city. I do avoid the rain as much as possible, basically I want a good around tire. And if you know any good sites that sell them at a good price.

Thanks for the help

Here we go again...LOL No slip on available for the 6R my friend. Click on the link below...

As for tires there's a few good one for your application. I like the Continental Conti-Motion. Can get those for cheap at motorcycle superstore.

I'm sorry, but you must not have used the search feature. There ARE NO slip-ons for this bike. It's either you buy a complete exhaust, or you cut the muffler off the stock exhaust and weld on a new can.

As for tires, figure out which brand you want first. Chances are someone has purchased them in the past and can offer you the best place to get them. Bike Bandit and Motorcycle Superstore are good places to start looking.

Hey Bro, welcome on the 6R forum. Don't take it personal, we just enjoy throwing newbee under the bus when they don't use the "Search" feature. There's few subject that have been beat to death over time... Look around and if you have more question let us know.

I thought these were fitting, sorry if they're a little on the nose.

Welcome to the forum.
As far as slip ons, if you can not afford a TBR dont worry. You have Marthy's exhaust as an option. As he mentioned, click the link in his sig. That system is pretty popular here and he is a great guy with so much knowledge that can help you on this.

Tires: what everyone else said. Do allot of googling and reading other reviews online.. Sounds like you want something more touring that the sport side of sport touring.

Solomotoparts.com does offer 2 different types of "bolt on" pipes, but they are nothing but cosmetic and will do nothing for sound or power. As for a real exhaust, you basically have the Two Brothers, the M4, and then what Matry offers.

Can't help you with tires yet. I'm still on my first set of Brigstones.

Have been reading a lot about people putting on the Two Brothers. I know I'm going to need to take it to a shop for welding, but could I attach this on without needing to bend pipes and too much playing around.

You will need to bend the pipe to get it at the right angle. You will need to cut off the giant black box. Believe you will need a collector pipe for 4 into 1 and then weld it all up. Then try and mount that can on the side of the bike somehow with the hanger to support it.
