Thanks, Steve for an awesome "how to". I too bought a (smoked) double bubble Puig for the looks and the presumption of less turbulence. Looks, absolutely/less turbulence, not so much. I had been advertising my standard screen for sale, without success, and remembered seeing your post some while...

I was searching for a how-to on giving my odo a haircut. Any advice?

I believe the sound of a pipe is purely for enjoyment, not safety. My experience is that you normally only here a loud bike when it is next to, or ahead of you, and not behind. So, it won't help the average comatose motorist avoid trying to kill you.

The best way to remove adhesive residue is Eucalyptus Oil, available from pharmacies (that's Drug Stores for you in the US&A). Don't use solvents, as the goo melts and spreads.

Has anyone painted their calipers with the specialized auto caliper aerosol paint, usually available in yellow or red, and is it successful?

Hey Brian I assume by now you have the instructions, but may be hesitant IRO the sound, as was I. I started with 14mm (1/2") followed by a 20mm (7/8"), which required some force/sharpening of the masonry bits, but dont be concerned. I've heard lots of the expensive aftermarket cans and I think...

Thanks for the 17T info. Have you done this mod. now? What does it do to rpm in 6th vs. 16T?

Will the 2007 FZ6S Fit? Do you have an aftermarket pipe to trade? Is it the full pipe or just the can?
