Ok this could be a fun thread, for what ever you have done to your bike, Mods, wash Ride, whatever,
I installed my Memphis Shades Batwing.


Not much at all ;) I just got mine a couple weeks ago and I'm starting out learning things I can do. I added a battery tender and heated gear plug-in(because I travel back and fourth from NM to OK every few weeks). I'm not a fairing person. I would like to change out pipes first(Loudest/best sounding) with maybe a power commander 3-5 upgrade. If it's possible to change my tank to a larger tank that will be next.

    Picking up my black beast today.
    I had some service work done and I can't wait to get it back.
    I hate having to be in a cage while the bikes in the shop.
    I had the following done.

    New Metzler Marathon 880's front and rear.
    New front & back brakes.
    Oil change
    K&N air filter cleaning.
    New spark plugs
    New fuel filter
    Drained all of the bikes fluids and replaced with all new.
    Lubed up the throttle cables

    My bikes is coming up on 75,000 miles and it still runs fantastic.
    Yamaha has made one sweet bike for sure.
    Keep the bike properly maintained & it will not let you down.

    Completed the build for the wife's Stryker. installer the new risers. Installed the new front brake line.




    Really dig the wife's front wheel, like to get the same look for my new rotors, except dual of course... Didn't someone post that Yami R1 brakes bolt right up too?

    Snyper the rotors for the 03-04 Yamaha R6 will bolt up to the Raider rim.  You will need the bolts from the Raider or Stratoliner rim though as the R6 bolts are too small.

    Why can't you use the raider rotors?

    You can.  My rim came without rotors though and the R6 rotors can be found for much cheaper if you need to use them.
