done - took 3 hours for the install and juice box.
Sounds great - moderate popping but it is not too bad.
Amazing difference in power and power delivery. Much more than I expected. Good mod. Happy that I did it. Here are a few pics.

I mounted it under the rear seat but may move it to the front left upper fairing.

Good job on the install ladies! bikerMommy, is the can really as short as it looks in the pic? Maybe it's just the angle at which it was taken but to me it seems short. I have a carbon fiber one as well (in pic) so I was just curious.

Nah, it's the same length. It's just the angle I mounted it. I liked the longer part of the can at the top instead of the inside, but when I reviewed the pics I realized how short it made it seem. I don't like that it looks short, so I'm going to loosen the x-ring and rotate it this afternoon. But the 2bros looks good anyway you mount it!

I angled the exhaust back to the way it was intended, I think it looks a little better this way.

BikerMommy, where did you purchase the JB?

I have put approximately 2000 km on the new exhaust. While I forget how the bike used to perform, I am pleased with the current performance level of the bike. The exhaust note is pleasing as well.
Although an expensive upgrade, I am happy that I did this.

When I rode cruisers (which fiance keeps saying I should buy another cruiser, I like what I have though) I used to love the decel popping. Last bike was vtx1300c that I put cobra lowboy staggereds on with no baffles which I could control if late at night or early in morning or in residential area could keep fairly quiet but gunning it could wake the dead and set off car alarms. That's really only thing I miss about a v-twin is the sound. The inline 4 purrs like a kitten stock and find I like stock sound much better than the high pitch whine of alot of gixxers and cbr's I hear alot. Really loud on a sportbike just sounds kinda obnoxious to me unlike really loud on cruisers. I would like SOME more sound though from the FZ6R because TOO quiet feels dangerous to me. I want the women (and some men) that one hand is fused to thier cell phone and ear to know I'm around before they cut me off

.For those wondering about the springs... the instructions are from their first-generation exhaust systems, where the headers came in separate pipes. TBR has now been welding the headers to make it one piece, so the references to the springs are obsolete.
Having said that, I absolutely love my TBR exhaust. Sounds perfect now that it's properly broken in. Boy, those first couple hundred miles were LOUD, even with the silencer in!
