Right. It's exhaust time. But I'm poor/tight and am looking at options for increased flow at minimum outlay. Question for the brains trust - will the shorty header deliver benefits with the standard muffler? Or is it better to do a muffler first? I hate the look of the standard muffler, want better per...

So I posted before about wanting to know what tanks can fit but now I was catwalking and i came over backward and when the bike went down the highway it broke the gas tank where it was cracked. Yamaha wanted over $800 for the tank and I bought the bike for $300 so I don't think its worth it. I am looking for a pla...

Hello guys. So I have decided to replace my Raid headlights with a lighter one for easier wheelies and better handling - the thing must weight 15 kilos!
