TV opinions on a few mods?

With a bit of cash coming my way, for a few computer related jobs, i've spent the early afternoon searching for a few things. The problem is i really can't decide, so i thought i would garner the trusted opinions of the TVSF.

So opinions/recomendations/experiences and even where you sourced your parts from:

Exhaust: I am pretty set on an Akra or more probably a Yoshimura....the steel/titanium debate is still rumbling on in my mind. So any other contenders or anyone know good places to order one from?

Double bubble screen: Recommendations on brand and where from?

Seat cowl: I guess there is an official yamaha one, but any other options?

Tail tidy: So Hamicad, R&G, Evotech....?

Yes i am incredibly indecisive....i can spend hours looking at stuff, but im no closer to making a decision

px it for a curvy


am i allowed in here?

Meh, black bike = Carbon Exhaust Personally, I like the Akrapovic with the Hexagonal Tip, especially in carbon finish. Not sure where to get one from, HG can order them in, but not sure on pricing.

Powerbronze? F.Fabbri? Ermax? There's loads out there, find one you like the look of (In dark tint, of course )

Seat cowl: I guess there is an official yamaha one, but any other options?

Stick with the official one IMHO, fit will be better, and so will colour match.

Tail tidy: So Hamicad, R&G, Evotech....?

R&G ones I've had on the Gixer (and soon on the Pirate) look good, and do the job well

Just spend the money dammit!

those Akrapovic cans look huge IMO

you going full system or just the end can for the exhaust cause if its just an end can id go with remus. Also black bike, carbon can, they do look good and the only reason i dont have them on my tl is that they explode. TBH i prefer carbon cans on everything but them im not a shiny bits kind of guy.

Akra carbon can - looks the dogs against the black frame and fairing etc

Zero gravity screen - Had pne on my CBR and it fitted better than the original plus had a properly finished edge and a lot dont.

Evotech tail tidy - had one, cheaper than others and fitted well with excellent instructions.

Genuine seat cowl from ebay - all others will have a dodgy fit!

There you go... Get em bought!

Cheers for the suggestions guys, especially thorough there Rigor!

All you guys seem to like carbon cans, but i cant help but think they look a bit ugly
That and i crashed with one on and it disintegrated!

Off to scour ebay for cheapie suggestions and then official sites.

Here's what i've probably decided on thus far:

Tail Tidy: Evotech(unfortunately it needs chavtastic mini indies)

Cowl:Standard

Screen:AirBlade....anyone heard of them? Apparently they do screens for BSB and all in the R6 cup so they cant be ****e!

I had an Airblade screen...untill it got broken

I got it because it seemed relatively cheap- wasn't the best to fit to the bike- but looked fairly good once it was on.

Anyone have an idea of the cost of an official black 05 seat cowl new?

I've been looking for a while and emailed a few dealers and no luck so far!
