Graves exhausts are sweet...
Steve:
Great pics. Awhile back I had a chance to sample an R1 LE with a Graves system on it. Sounds great and definitely makes power. Enjoy.

Bike is one year old today. Zero trouble, and it has provided tons of fun.
First bike I plan to keep more than a year, and I've owned plenty of 'em thus far!

Thank you sir!
This weekend bike was the following mods EBC HH brakes, real brake lines, and motivation frame sliders that are no-cut but connect to frame in 3 places 
Here are the EXPERTS (Ben mechanic and Roco cook):

MOTIVATION sliders that mount to the bike in 3 places. High dollar sliders but NICE



Braided lines/EBC HH pads: Brakes by Goobr

Bike has been put to rest for the night

Oh, and I accidentally took a wrench home from Ben's garage and my Honda blessed it!

Bike looks good Steve,
I think I will try a gas cap like that for my 14!
I love my super grippy vortex rearsets for sure!
You already know I really like Pazzo levers, and watson led's !

dubious, coming from you thats big...thanks for the comments. I'm surprised it took me so long to put decent rear sets on it, usually one of the first things I do!

Big?
I am just another dood who appreciates any well engineered, performance bike for its purpose, and asthetics too.
Yamaha was my very first bike, and the first bike I rode on with Dad.
I like the YAMAHA's so much I put the tail of one on my zx14!
Pitty they don't make an R15, or FZR1500.... you get my point here...
I have an 02 Vmax in the garage too btw...
When you are ready to loose another 9-10 lbs, I have a speedcell for you too!
They have proven super reliable, and all Yamaha factory bikes use them in a total loss system!
I have been told they will likely become production parts soon!
