Had the bike 2 weeks. So far fitted R&G rad cover R&G tail tidy Ventureshield Honda touring screen Honda Hugger Honda Seat cowl I do want to fit a can but unsure what to do due to warranty. Fit official or after market. If I do the after market then I need a PC and will I need a dyno to set it up?

Any opinions?

Gotta giggle this thread does smack of "mines bigger than yours" out of the crate these machines are far better than we are, yet we persist in modding them, why ? I am as guilty as most of you my list in itself is fairly long, mind you I'm not waving it around in public !!!
Really struggling to download photos onto here (it's my first time) but hope this link works: Pictures by ExDaytona675 - Photobucket Let me know if you can't access them or even more helpful please tell me how to drag photos from My Pictures onto this site. As a comment to N20 Capri it is not a case of Willy waving - more a case of having a passion for something and I am equally interested in what other people have done to their bikes. No jealousy - just admiration and hopefully some inspiration. (By the way you say you don't wave yours around in public but you do add a photo of it!)
yea next mod going to be fittted at the first service. a Yoshi R77 they have at JHS in Bristol on discount
This sounds like bait, but I'm in the mood for fishing We persist in modding them to mould them to our preferences and add an individual touch - no more explanation than that needed. I think you already knew that anyway though. When you say a machine is better than you, it's far too general and doesn't really mean anything. You're inferring that everyone has just gone for power increase mods, but they haven't at all. Be a bit more specific and you might get a decent response And this isn't "public", it's an enthusiasts forum.
^^^^ re the above reply. Agree. the only reason I want to change for example the can is that I do not really like the new blade can. and it's too quiet for my liking. I don't go for power increase just something I like to have on the bike. Many people like to have something different to the norm as I do. The blades got more power than I could ever want. going from a Speed triple to the blade is just amazing. Some of my mods such as stompgrips help me to grip the bike and are a great addition to the bike, but everyone is different. I modded my triple allot over the 3 years I had it and glad I did.
Hey mate... Easiest way is to copy the URL of the pics you have on photobucket... On photobucket simply click the IMG Code - it will copy it. Then Paste this onto the forum.... You can always create you own gallery by clicking the gallery button at the top of the forum and uploading pics from your own PC.
Bike looks great. Where did you get the stomp grip from? I've only ever seen the plastic bubbly ones before. Couldn't see the exhaust - is it standard or mod?
Thanks. It does make quite a difference to the look. I've replaced all the aluminium parts as I think it is the one area that Honda have gone cheap with and lets the Fireblade down a bit.
Finshed off the servicing including strip down of rear suspension. Give it a good scrub up as well...
