Huge Thanks go out to Brock! and Bikeland!
Brocks street meg and PC3 installed.
Like a cruise missile would sum it up!
I temporarily removed the secondary throttle plates as well.
I have to say the improvement in the upper RPM from the pipe and tune is extraordinary!
Equal to the improvement on bottom from the plate removal!
I have to say that its not just the pipe, but the service from Brocks is great!
The bike is everything I ever dreamed it would be.... when uncorked!
It revs out effortlessly. Unreal how it pulls so effortlessly.
Comparing the stock bike to a Brocks piped bike is like comparing a LT1 350 to an LS6 454!
Top end schreek is incredilble. Incredilbe pull!
Undoubtably most wicked powerband I have ever had the enjoyment to ride! (in 28 yrs)
Controlled, smooth and yet a tyrant !
Those who do not do these mods will never realize the true potential and intent for this bike!
I watched the speedo climb in 6 th today right to the speed limiter, and have to say, it pulls the speedo around in 6th as quickly as it ever did in 4th when it was stock!
Truly an exhilarating ride!
It blows my mind!
For those who do NOT have dyno access especially... there is no other substitute or peace of mind knowing the bike is jetted as close as anyone will ever get it with out putting your specific bike on a dyno! Plus it did not cost me a $300 tire, and a $200 per hour in dyno time!
Big advantage for the majority of people out there who will not dyno their bike!
Thanks Brock! 
Many Many thanks to the people who operate, and facilitate zx14.com and bikeland too!
I can not thank your generous hearts enough.
People who live in isolated area's of the world would never find the resources and abundant info sharing that is available here, 10 years ago.
... My bike would never have ran this well as easilly.
Thanks bikeland.org!
I know i've been a bit of a pain over the months Fish, cause i'm pretty outspoken and don't hold much back, i have a strong opinion.
Thanks again to all,
and the members too... it wouldn't happen without them either!
Can you tell I'm exstatic about the performance of my bike...
I'm just a really happy dude! 
Well going out for another ride.
Later bro's and sisters! 
Oh Fish heres a pic with my shirt!
Wife is horrible with camera ... unreal how bad .

yup I'm tellin ya..
It pulls 260-300 k like it it does 200 to 240k!
Unreal!
Its relentless, and would keep pulling right to redline the same if if you look at the dynographs, but speed limiter kicks in around 10,400-10,500 .... until i get the speedohealer!
in fact i tried it several times today and I could not believe the little distance it takes to get it to 300 k now. I would guess it knocked about 100 to 150 meters off the distance to limiter bounce!
Now it lieteraly bounces off the limiter, before it petered off, and even with the timing being pulled out of it I picked up an extra 200 rpm up top.
I will measure the distance to 300k in next few days and report!

Yes... sounds good.
I'm back to work tomorrow, so the bike won't see to many miles before Brock gets back with maps for the flies removed, I'll leave em out, and limit the rides till he sends/ confirms map and a/f ratio.
I have to install my pair block off plates!
Without disabling the pair, it backfires every once in a while!
LOL the fucker was popping a bit, and I seen a few cagers snap their necks when it did!
Hey ... another bonus... LOL...not one person was suprised to see me coming today cause they could easily HEAR me
No more left hand chickens, and nobody cut me off today!
That meg is LOUD!
sure sounds fuckin good when you wind up the catapult though!

I really like the look of that exhaust system. Are you talking pissed off neighbors loud or cop caller at high rpms loud? I ran D&Ds on my 1200 for 2 years and the neighbors still talk to me.

Both pissed neighbors and cop caller loud! LOL. 
Oh well, its on there now!,.....might do it differently if to do it again... don't know!
My buddies LOVE it... , and I love the top end wail... siuts the bike and increased performance to a "T".
I get along well with my neighbors, and wish to keep it that way.
lug her down to 900 rpm and idle away down the street.
I think my neighbors harley with V&H pipes is louder but the wife says... NOT! LOL
She calls it an ALP horn! LOL
I don't hang around town much when riding .... it could be so easy to lose my license...
Easy before but now its retarded... I'm in LUUUUUV!
Shit 120K in 70 K zone in 6th, just think roll on and the bike is moving 170K LOL!
Up a 7degree hill!
It moves out effortlessly! Buds Busa with yosh pipe can't touch it anywhere!
remember the Kawi ad... " like straight shot to cerebral cortex" ... now it is!
Its like its hard wired to your brain, just think roll on and your MOVING OUT!
Its loud... but it sounds so damn good!

Just put on Brock's street meg this evening, It went on easy took more time to get the plastic off and on. Only a half hour for the pipe it self, NOTE you have to use the stock oil filter even the short Pure One is too long 
Took it out for a spin O SHIT It's way to LOUD LOUD LOUD this things got ticket written all over it. I love the look of it but will have to make a baffle or get the gen 3 can. don't get me wrong It is a beautiful piece well made and goes together perfectly, for blasting down a drag strip it's perfect no problem, but to take a long ride I think it would get old fast.
PC is next when I get Brock's map and then out with the plates.
Hold on it's going to be an E ticket for sure.

I hear loud ass harleys all the time. I dare the police give us a ticket. Harleys run no baffles in alot of the bikes i hear. I would like to compare the noise of the megaphone to drag pipes on a harley. I guess its been done so long with harleys that it sits well with officers. Hell they even ride them. Most of the time their making noise and not going anywhere. I cant wait till i get my megaphone.

Ok did a sound level, set up was 25' away pipe side static, meter set for A weighting slow response. @2000rpm 86db, @3000rpm 89db @4000rpm 90db picked these ranges to cover approximate cruise RPM in town and freeway. It's not as loud as I thought it would be but riding to work I could hear it bouncing off semi trucks and sound walls and I was wearing ear plugs. Still going to try to tone it down a little. But it sounds mean as hell running it through the gears
Full throttle 11000rpm in front of a cop your on you own

"Full throttle 11000rpm in front of a cop your on you own "
LOL!
Now thats funny!
in 1st gear at 11,000 rpm you broke every speed limit in the nation.... Canada anyway!
Nevermind every other gear!
Try pulling the baffle out, see what that does!

Imagine the noise with no pipes... and then an ALP horn installed.....
Then you have a smeg without baffle! LMFAO
And yes the 1st time a cop pulls me over , I'm gonna politely suggest he go chase some loud bikes carrying real criminals....
Or the minibikers cruising residantial area's with open exhaust at 3:00 am.
fuck, for that matter the cagers cruising down my residential street at 80 kmh...
I'm tired of chasing those fuckers already!
Every time they apologize... I tell em they're not nearly as sorry as they're gonna be when they run a child over........ ESPECIALLY IF ITS MY LITTLE GIRL
