    A new front and a new trick learned, (if you're careful) you can use a standard front fork lift to pop up the tire and still get the bolts out, you just have to turn the supportbrackets facing down. Don't try this without a rear stand as well or it will be too unstable.

    Another angle, my personal opinion but these Michelins are phenominal!!

    These should look pretty cool along with the red and black color scheme of the R1

    This is 10 months later since the bike had it's major repair...here are a few pictures with the newly installed exhaust. You wouldn't know it by looking at it but I've had to repair it twice more since the last photo due to a low speed wash out with a new rear tire combined with me being absent minded and then just a few days from getting it fixed from that incident I had a cadillac decide to back into it while I was finishing up dining at a sushi restaurant.

    I once had someone tell me I didn't have enough angles of my R6 tail mod on my FZR600. So for this mod (the mufflers) I think I did a good job at making sure enough angles were taken...lol

    Just having those mufflers gloss black makes so much of a difference.

    Mental note, next time I decide to paint exhaust wait till it has at least a few days to dry, not too bad but the paint flaked off around the opening where the air is blown out. Had I not been so impatient I think it would not have happened..oh well..live and learn.
