    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.

      • Stage 2 Mods

        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.

        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.

                • @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?

                        Thanks. The Reservoir socks, apart from being a aesthetic touch, actually serve a greater purpose. Brake fluid deteriorates over a period from being exposed to heat and UV rays from the sun. So the sock basically protects that from happening. Lots of racing teams use them as well. Its more or less like a sports sweat band. I was actually using a sweat band until a few weeks ago. Have also installed a Reservoir sock for the rear brake reservoir.
                        Flush mount signals are one of the first mods folks up here do. Those bulky stock ones really mess up the look of a bike.

                        I did consider the Racefit. Its unique and had made from titanium. its very hard to buy though if you arnt in Europe. Also, I don't think the Racefit design for the R1 flows well with the lines of the bike. All racefit pipes look the same to me. They are probably the loudest though. Their US distributor doesnt stock them any more. You have to special order them, and that makes them more expensive. I liked the look of the Leo, Akra and FMF pipes the most on the R1.

                            So you keep the reservoir socks on the bike when you are not around?
                            If they were used here they would be gone the very next day
