Hi,

I had a K5 for a few years but sold it. Got the itch again so got a K6 a few weeks back. It was a bit of a whores handbag when i got it but making some changes. The seat had to go and I took the stickers off it. Put the bum pad on the cowl too and now has a black screen. Quick release fuel cap and shorty levers. Metzler M7rr's next for it as the Avons it has are sh#t. Came with Harris rear sets, Matris steering damper and a new chain and sprocket kit. Cracker with 15k on the clock for 3500. Very happy.

Sexy but I'd be going for a black/carbon can or race stubby for discretion.

Top points for the yoshimura japan exhaust! Wafer Thin Ham will be along shortly to see if you might want more Yoshi JPN stuff.

Full system or a slip on?

Slip on bud. I'll be on the look out for a tri oval duel exit Yoshi. That was awesome on my last bike.

Dual exits are still available from Yoshi JPN interestingly.

About £500-£500 IIRC depending on sleeve material, have a look on the bay for some used ones. Thumbs Up

I keep checking eBay but at £500 it's too expensive for a slip on. They are a great can but out my price range just now.

Me neither it's bonkers overkill. Always the same with some Gsxr owners they chav their bikes right up to the point they look awful.

No sign of it and to be honest even if it did turn up it wouldn't be the same.

Insurance are processing so hoping for a payout of some sort soon.

Nice, but that white front mud guard needs to go. I think black was the stock colour for that paint scheme.

It was mate it's next on my list I was thinking of getting it black carbon wrapped. Not a fan of the white mudguard at all.
