MJ's 2004 R1 Mods

I've always loved the stock look of the 04 R1 and until recently I have kept the bike virtually stock since I got her (pillion seat cowl with rear footpegs removed and Yamaha racing screen were the only mods). I've thought about changing it for a K5/K6 GSX-R1000 but can't let go of the 04's looks and I'll never ride either bike to their potential so thought I would keep the R1 and spend a little bit of money on her and thanks to eBay I managed to do the following for around £700 while maintaining the stock appearance:

Proton Lights flushmount front indicators and Acumen indicator relay (passed its first MOT with these on)
Dynojet PCIII
Genuine Yamaha carbon one piece rear hugger and chain guard
Pazzo short levers
OEM Y-pipe de-catted
OEM exhausts with A&R race baffles
Acumen DG8 Digital Gear Indicator in blue with Plug-and-go Loom (still to be fitted)

I really like all the mods you did there. Personally would have gone for new cans but think its quite tasteful keeping the stock ones and they do sounds nice now!!

How much were the new internals for the stock cans?

By decat do you mean you took out the catalytic converter?

Didn't know you could do that.

I just changed my end-can and removed the baffle.

Cracking bike. Thumbs Up

But allow me to chuckle at the fact that you took pictures at the indicator relay. Mr. Green

cracking bike but personally i think flush indicators really are a no no. the idea or restricting the signals that you give to other road users of where your going isnt a good idea.

orange lense with blatant indies sticking out the side is the way to go.

Very nice bike. Particularly like the idea of the decat and changing the baffles in the stock pipes.

Means you don't have to fork out for a set of new pipes but it still sounds NICE!

Would love a set of pazzo levers, i dont think i could justify spending that much on just levers though.
How much were yours ?
