Ok in prep for my next piece to arrive I did a few things. The stock exhaust came off.
Was very simple to do. Few bolts and it dropped right off very easily. Note that is weighs about 20lbs.
So yesterday after I left the new one arrived.
Its the Leo Vince full Ti system. Very nicely done system. Very light as you can see its about 8lbs. With some simple math I just dropped 12lbs off the bike. It cost a pretty penny but its worth it imo. Should have it on this weekend
The bike has been completed. Still waiting for the shock to arrive. Not a ton of step by step photos. I was running out of time and stopping every step to take a photo really slows things down
Exhaust is on. Full Leo Vince Corsa. Went on pretty easy and it has a great sound to it.
Gearing done. Went 15/48 for the track on this bike.
Chain off
New Front
Rear off
New rear sprocket
Back together with slack set right and wheels aligned
Body work mount. This is armor bodies. The fit we pretty much dead on. Very little trimming to do. Just some to get the dzus fasteners right.

That is awsome for sure. It is very cool to be able to do that financially. I know I am envious of it, and sure a bunch of others are to.
What was the stock gearing 16\44?

Are you going to paint it? Or just leave it at the +5 HP primer color?

Ok the last of the goodies have been installed. I dont have any photos of the installation because it was done at the track in between sessions so time was a factor.
I know a few of you saw us installing this.

For those that have never put a shock in the new generation R6 its not difficult but its not easy either. Yamaha didnt leave much space for tools to get in. You have to lift the tank to get at the upper shock mount. The link and the dog bones need to come out as well. It took us about 20 minutes to do.
The shock is much better then the stock one. It was more planted in the rain in the rain and I noticed the rear breaking loose less. I have yet to ride it in the dry but so far its a large improvement.
The rapid bike fuel controller also got installed.
A few neat features this offers is a quick shifter.
Yes you can get this with the power commander but you need to buy it and you need the ignition module as well. Its also an option for the rapid bike but its all controlled by one box.
The other really nice feature is a dual map switch.
It pretty much does what its advertised to do. You can toggle maps. Since this bike will see street duty we are running and pump gas map and a race fuel map.
For those that havent seen rain tires. I was running a set of Dunlop rains tires.. Damn things are amazing in the wet.

Well its hard to say.
The bike was 7500.
A lot of the other stuff Im not really sure. I work at the shop so I do get a discount on parts. Some stuff I did myself so its pretty much free. Other things just came together.
The most expensive was the exhaust. After its really not bad. Id say add about 5000 give or take a few depending on what you go with to the cost of the bike to have what I have now. Oh and a bunch of weekends. So what ever your time is worth. Then again you could just buy a bike and give it to us. We can transform it for you.
The best advice I can give is dont buy what you cant affordToo many people go crazy and end up the year with a 20,000 dollar note to pay off. This bike has all the best stuff I could afford. When I say that I mean no credit card bills.
Over all I couldnt be more pleased with the entire process. I wish I could do it every year. Obviously its a lot of fun to ride the bike but the satisfaction of riding one I built is hard to explain. All I have left is the dyno tune which will hopefully be done by next weekend and to place the decals on it.
