GSXR750s always felt more like the 1000s than the 600s despite the engine only being 150cc bigger, it's why I like 750s.

To be fair to 600s, when they made 80bhp they had some mid range power.

IL4 600s are crap. Try a full fat litre jobby.

Been there, done that, I prefer a 750 (says the man with an 1170cc bike sat in the garage)

You'd need some Hi-tec high tops for that.

They're very comfortable and match my bike, or does my bike match them as I bought them before the bike?

I always fancied some daytona race boots.

Change bikes or leathers and you just buy a new boot outer. Flippin' expensive for the inners tho'

It's also very loud, sounds really nice though, real rasp to it.

Might look better if you cut it down a bit. Not stubby, just 100mm or something.

I tend to agree, I didn't like the quality of any thing currently available new and had that Micron spare, the adapter to the front pipe makes the pipe long, but the can is enormous.

Holy fark,dude. :sick:

I know you like 80s bikes,but best keep 80s cans off modern bikes,or cut 2/3rds off the thing.

I don't think I'm going to try and cut real carbon fibre, the can is very light.

I have got a stainless oval Micron I could shorten.
I had a titanium one, but that went with my FZR 400.
