Well I shopped my @ss off and got a carbon Leo Vince SBK pipe off ebay, brand new for $225, headers were not worth another $350-400

I'm lucky to get over 33mpg--sometimes 28. Maybe worry less about the fuel warning, than the ultimate miles you can go till dry

I have an 08 in granite with gold forks and went with the all black shorty FDB levers. I would stay away from the gold as they seem to be a lighter gold than the forks From my observation there are many variances in the coloring of gold bling items

well if you guys have it right K&N has been committing fraud for years---but I don't think so Opening the airbox and opening the exhaust is a clear way to increase power Look at Ivan's dyno's The stock bike is restricted everywhere for emissions and noise standards

FCE: concensus is that it is needed on 2006 and maybe 2007 models. Less so on 2008 and above. Ivan is a recognized master. The PCIII does not take care of the "Fuel cut" problem. Concensus mods in order are, 1) slip on,gut front cat 2)Change front sprocket to a 16 tooth(this will throw off...

I have some concern you may run too lean with a modded airbox and without a power commander. I have an 08 and first mods were to get new can, and gut front cat and change to lower 16th front sprocket. Then I opened the airbox and descreened the stock filter , and while the performance is...

The Pace is great, but I don't track. No time and don't necessarily want to wait in line to ride on a track. I average a speeding ticket every 12 to 18 months, but as a lawyer I keep my driving record clean. My bike miles are fractional to my auto miles, but on a cycle I am usually very fast...

I just did the airbox mod on my 2008 on Sunday. I descreened my stock filter instead of replacing. Made a significant difference in overall engine power. The other site has many instructions and photos and there is a FZ1 air filter replacement video and well as Copperdog' flies video on...

Wow, the remaining Leo Vince on Ebay is Titanium--not stainless $210 plus $25 shipping

155mph on stock 08---145mph 2-up After changing front gear to 16 tooth and gutting front cat 161mph--but there was more room--and the speed is overstated due to gear change will now be changing over the cat back pipe for a new Leo Vince carbon

check ebay--I just bought a new carbon Leo Vince for $235 which includes shipping. There is a stainless one for the same price
