@ Elli and Pug.
It sounds amazing! It is not too loud when riding and the volume is spot on with the engine when riding. A nice deepish guttural sound
At idle when the choke is on though... hehe its loud and that's with the baffle in!
The engine seems to rev a bit more freely now and sounds smoother compared to the stock exhaust and the new can and link pipe weighs 50% less! 6kg down to 3kg of noise.
And I have just noticed that I posted 2 of the same picture!
So here is the full side shot.
I can feel some black levers and a set of black renthals and Maxxis tyres in the future. The BT020 rear and BT011 front feel hard compared to the er-6 I learnt on but then again that a different bike lol
Ps The cans clamp is now straight and fitted properly.

I bought some black levers for mine from China, £23, and they are great. They fit nicely and look so much better than the stock metal ones.

Today, I rode it! and filled it with fuel

Now needs de-bugging and a nice bit of TLC

Oil and filter change today. I used fully synthetic and am quite impressed by it. The engine and gear changes feel smoother. Not sure if thats genuine or not but I'm sure the gear changing is.

Took mine to the East Midlands MAG demo. Coalville to MFN 
Also stayed nice and sunny for us, despite the forecast being rain.

Fitted some "oriental" levers...
I went for a monochrome colour scheme and I'm very happy with them!

Ive still got a set of Pazzo's from about 5 years ago, only had them on the bike for a couple of weeks, i just could not get on with them, they weren't cheap either.

You guys make me sad I really am getting impatient and a little depressed that i haven't had a bike in 3 years now. I need to wait until i've moved to a place with a garage or at least somewhere to keep it safely, currently living in a flat.
I want to tinker with a bike again

Just fitted some of these bad boys for my trackday on wednesday (please dont rain, please dont rain)
They are practically useless on the road. But get them up to temperature on the track and they are mental.

Not sure if you are referncing my picture or just musing, but my bad photography skills fail to show that my new levers are actually standard length

I have the same levers as you, except my adjusters are also black, and for under £24 I think they are great. Look, and feel, so much better than the stock levers and they have much better adjustment. I was never totally happy with how the brake lever felt, it's travel, with the OEM lever but with these it's exactly how I want it.
As long as they don't fade in the sun, I have heard stories, I'll consider them money well saved over Pazzo's. Of course if the brake lever ever snaps at speed so I can no longer brake then my zombie will head to China and get revenge.

I had a set on my SV650 which were perfect.
Also had a set on my ER5 which were perfect.
Just fitted a set to my FZ6 a month ago but they faded. Dunno why it happened to this particular set so I contacted the2wheels and explained the situation. They asked for my address and have sent me a brand new pair, didn't even want the old ones back. Top quality service

Yeh they seem great.
I haven't read up much on the fading, is it really just from the sun whilst riding? Or is it on bikes that are left outside a lot?

Is that at Brands by any chance?
Forecast is good at the moment.

Just being outside seems to be the case for me as it hasn't been sunny all month!
Like I said though, the first 2 sets I had were perfect with no fading at all. I just think that this time I got a bad batch but as they're being replaced free of charge I'm happy enough.
