I figured I'd try to save myself a little money again....lol

I bought a DIY (Do it yourself kit for my Yamaha YZF R1) to replace the stock muffler baffles with 2" straight baffles on the inside wrapped with fiberglass sheathing. Well after trying to drill out the rivets on the end caps that were around titanium mufflers I ended up buying three cobalt drill bits to complete the job. Got everything removed now just waiting for the baffles to come in the mail. Get this..I paid 10$ shipping Priority mail USPS from Fresno, Ca. to Novato, Ca.....It's day three and still no baffles for my bike. WTF, why not ship UPS, ground..would have had it in two days for $5.. This sucker will or should put down 160@RW now

You cheap bastard Buy a Akrapovic full system Well,that is what I would do

I stopped by the dealer yesterday and was looking at the 05 GSXR 1000's

Fred99Z28

Those Akropovic systems are $1200 plus you rich bastard,lol. Hey, I'm getting the kit for $104 shipped. Plus I have the damned exup to deal with.

The 2005 GSXR is supposed to be the best "stock" bike wanna line em up,lol-Fred

Screw the EXUP.I deleted mine 4 day's after I got the R1 The $1200 is worth it on the bike,never ming the Magnusium wheels

As for race? You will need more practice.I don't use clutches on bikes

Fred99Z28

You probably would out drive me off the line.."maybe"hehe, but I can drive the chit out of it after first gear. So are you going to get the Gixr? You probably like bikes better than cars! I'm just wondering why you got rid of your last one..wife..got scared,lol
I wish I could put up a video link of the bike while I revved it a few times. I have a digital camera that recordes but don't know how to put the link on here.-Fred

Your talking to someone that use to be a Bike riding junky 2 new bikes a year for 5 years
Once the bike is broken in there was the first mission-Hit the rev limiter in 6th gear 2nd was to grind the ends of the pegs off by leaning it as far as possible,3rd was to hold a wheelie in 4 gears with the misses on the back
Now you see why I don't ride anymore

Fred99Z28

I'm sure you can drive a "Bike" better than me,lol. Hey get the gixxer though & tell the wife she has a avalanche to ride in. BTW, who's truck is quicker, yours or BigMike's?-Fred

BTW, check your email to see my exhaust mod pics.

I didn't know you have a bike...we gotta go riding.

Thanks Fred. . . It's a full header system, with power commander. I recently took it off my friends' hands. He went 10.6 with it at NED.

Matt with the purchase of this bike, I am finally back in the loop of things. I went almost two seasons without riding a "newer bike". Time permitting we should go for ride, for sure. Here's a pic of my last bikes! Still have the '85 Interceptor. . .





Sorry for the off topic posts Fred.

Speedy, the 85 I'm guessing is the one on the right correct? What shape is it in, would you consider selling it?

PM sent to Mr. Dieso

Fred any luck getting the baffles in and installed???

Fred99Z28

I got it done. It sounds real nice too. I remapped it with a map from power commanders web site (European map). I took it out last night for a ride with my buddys 03 R1. I can't wait to dyno it. I'm going to Louisiana next week for work reasons, but will be dynoing it the week after. I emailed Slowhawk some pics, not sure if he got them though.-Fred
