But anyways, update us once it is fixed....

Sorry about your bike as well. Yeah, not much can be done in such situations. Anyway, the replacement parts are on order. Bought a pair of foot pegs from some Chinese seller on ebay for 10$. OEM parts cost for just one foot peg was 35$

. The frame slider replacement parts were relatively cheap as well. Will update once I fix her up.

Well, good news after all

Hey guys, here are some updates as promised. I'd like to call them Stage 2 updates. although I am still waiting on one part to arrive.
I was contemplating which slip-on exhaust to get. The usual suspects were Akrapovic, Yoshimura, Leo-Vinci and FMF.
I almost settled for an FMF....it was unique, not many people had it, good reviews and good weight savings as well. But then I found an amazing deal on a pair of Leo Vinci Slip-Ons. Titanium internals and Carbon Fiber sleeve. So here is it is, the LEO VINCI SBK FACTORY EVOII Slip-On System.

Un-boxing

Yummy

Ti Internals

Also installed some Flush Mount Turn Signals and Reservoir Socks. Here are the pictures after the Install.

Rear. With the bulky stock exhaust gone, it looks much cleaner from the rear. Also saved 5 pounds of weight.

Side

Flush Mount Turn Signals by Lockhart Phillips

Reservoir Socks

Marco Simoncelli Decal (R.I.P Super Sic)

Here is what she looks like right now

My personal Fav

It now sounds FREAKING insane and generously LOUD. Truly like a V8. Will upload video next week.
Enjoy and thanks.

The mods sound very interesting, but not able to see the pics..Only one pic is visible, the box only, more like a teaser

@Carlitos : Back with a bang, I must say...

By the way did you consider Racefit and Laser slip ons too? (Just curious as they are quite loud)
And after flames on R6, what are you thinking on the Blue "1" except that Leo Vince stickers?
