Might get an 02 ZX12, can you guys gimmie a little help?
Seriously considering going to the green side.........well, black (metalic blue) and gold actually 
But I'm not one to sit on my hands and NOT mod a bike.
What I wanna know is:
The exhaust......I know it had a C.C. on it for KLEEN reasons...but would you recommend just a slip-on...or will I be wasting my money with anything less than a full system?
Rear Fender......Kinda big, but I might can live with it...anyone recommend a good solution? Right now My TLR is total custom and I'm kinda use to NO plastic
Gearing.....I've NEVER had a bike I didn't regear. The Tiller has already enough power to pull stumps, but to use 6th you had to do 80 or it was useless...plus bumping out back 2 teeth made 2nd gear throttle wheelies a breeze
2-up comfort.... I'm GETTING another bike cause the wife wants to ride again......this after I spend good money on a carbon solo race tail for the TLR  Will the 12 be semi comfy for her? are there aftermarket solutions to make her MORE comfy?
Thanks everyone

Caster Troy
Caster Troy from SBN? I picked up an 02 zx12R this spring, I have a moto graphics undertail installed and am very happy with it. I will try to post a couple photos of it for you. Or you can get me your email address and I will send a couple.
Seems everyone goes with a full exaust because a 20 HP gain with a PC3 is pretty common. Hard to argue that. Look at the drag racing threads here and on www.labusas.org for info on gearing. I am still running stock gears and exaust but am planning on replacing both in the near future.
Also look at Debotech for carbon fiber goodies for the 02 ZX12. I just ordered up a hugger w\chainguard and crap flap, ram air covers and a new ash tray.
I have the looks all in order so next up is full Akropovic, PCIIIr, K&N filters and some tuning time on the Dyno.
I just replaced my Dunlops with BT010's but I stuck with 200's. I understand the 190's are quite popular and do improve flickability and handling.
The rear of a ZX12 is big and roomie, there are some after market hard grab rails and someone has even made a flip up seat back that looks pretty nice. Check recent threads for "grab rail" here and at labusas
