    My first Yamaha

    Thought I would throw a few pics of my first Yamaha. I picked up a 2004 R6 w/9K miles on it the other night. Bike is very, very clean.

    I need to replace the Zero gravity touring windscreen and also ditch the Vortex lowering links.

    Might put a slip-on or full pipe on it. Any input to pipe choice for a older R6?

    Re: My first Yamaha

    Nice. I'm always surprised when I see an older bike with all the stock parts still on it. Looks super clean, like showroom almost.

    I have a Two Bros on my '02 and love the sound, only problem is the carbon tends to fade. Has a nice low rumble at idle, but still screams. I like the Yoshi's too. Acro's are on the quieter side but very nice.

    Nice bike! But why ditch the windscreen? A ST screen was the best choice I ever made...

    My buddy has a Devil on his '02 R6 and it's the best sounding pipe I've heard on the R6. The high-mount he has looks amazing too.

    Graves exhaust, have it on the R1 and love it. They fully support the R6.

    Loved my R6, great bikes. I had the Two Brothers M5 and it sounded awesome, but was obnoxiously loud.

    Windscreen is WAY too tall, needs a double bubble or stock.

    Thanks for the compliments, the only problem is it's so clean I don't think I'm going to ride it through winter.

    Trying to find a less common exhaust than the usual Two Brothers/Yoshi, etc for the R6.
    Akra, Devil or Leo Vince maybe a possibility.

    I found a extremely reasonable price on a Giannelli on Ebay from Fast by Ferracci. Anyone used them before?

    Well I rode 18K miles in 09', pretty sure there was a couple of long rides.

    No laying on the tank for me, too old.

    Found a Ti-force slip-on and full system on Ebay for a fair price.

    Is the full system worth it on these R6's? Any idea about total horsepower gains w/a full pipe/PC3 vs Slip-on?

    I had a Ti-Force on my 98 R1 and it added about 10hp on that bike according to the dyno. Not sure what you'll get out of an R6, I don't recall seeing to many with a big gain in power from a slip-on or full system of stock. Personally, i'd go for looks over power gains with a system on a streetbike, but that's just me
