Hi all, I'd like to see how everyone got rid of their hideous black plastic license bracket! Show me some pictures of where you mounted your license plate! Thanks!

In case anybody is interested the fender-chop kit was $60 on e-bay (includes LED tag lights) and the integrated taillight/turn signal was like $90 at clear alternatives. I like the little hangy-down things so I chopped those to make them fit. Also chopped the light brown plastic heat shield thing and painted it gloss black. Just looked more finished to me.

made my own. Used aluminum banding ("1 wide) and attached to 2nd smaller attaching hole from tail (used to attach plastic "wings"around stock exhaust). Ive since shortened side supports and moved the whole assembly further in (than what is show in picture).

Its sweet. The carbon fiber doesnt get hot like the stock. The bikes crazy fast to start, so it's hard to judge. Later.
is it a slip or full system? hows it sound?

Nice. I probably would have gone with something else other than the Jardine now that I've seen others. The fit isn't as good as some of the other cans. The can needs to be smaller so it doesnt come out at a slight angle. Im not complaining too much. I just dont have the cash to replace it. Oh well. Good luck with yours. Later.

You guys are killin me with this "Only adds so much horsepower" I know there are a few of you here who can ride their bike close to its full potential. That undertail looks like big time crap.
My 2 Cents.

Would anyone else like to comment on the exhaust I'm getting. I would like know if I'm the only one who likes it or not. I think it looks like Moto Gp style, just different placement of the exhaust port. Any comments would be OK.
Im still going to push the devil exhaust. not only bc i sell them but bc i have on on my 1000rr and i love it! it sounds awesome! i have not dynoed it yet but i do notice a significant "umph" when i ride. how do you define "umph?" i dunno, you just do!

Reponek -- Here's the best advice I can offer ... buy what ya like. End of story. If you're spending 7 bills or more to please somebody else then you're being stoopid. Hell, most peeps I know don't even like the Honda's any damn way. They all like the R1 as far as pure looks go with the ZX10 coming in 2nd. I like the way the Honda feels and I think it looks cool.
Be original ... get what ya like.
i change my mind. I agree. get what you like. you wanna impress people? rider better.

Not trying to impress anyone, just asking for some opinions. Thanks for the advice though. Overall, if everyone hates it and I like it, then I'm buyin it for me. For all I care they can lick my sack. Just looking for input, you can say it looks lame, won't bother me. I still paid for it and have been waiting a while for it. I will throw some pictures up after I get it put on.
