    i like the way the gen 6 pipe follows the triangular shapes of the tail. but that carbon one looks like something off a jet, in a good way.

    From the side view the 6th IN looks better but from the back the 6th OUT looks better. :unsure:

    Done!

    Ok just a quick update that the deed is DONE! With the help of Tori I finished her up tonight. Part CBR Part Triumph, and alot of hard work. Here are some pics along the way.
    I cut off the center supports and made some cardboard template for the aluminum panels.

    I cut off the donut part of the stock exhaust and used an up pipe from a 6th gen exhaust and a 45 adapter pipe from Kragens.

    drilled some holes to mount the muffler to the stock CBR 600rr mounts

    Relocated the rear master cylinder to straight up above under the rear cowl
    [​IMG]

    Had a welding shop weld the aluminum panels all together for strength, Tori welded on a rod to have a new center stand stop and welded the up pipe to the 45 degree pipe. Some BBQ black paint it was was done!

    Well It did good on the 400 mile trip to Laguna Seca and Back. Had My full Givi Bags and girlfriend and only rubbed a few times on some larger dips. I need to get the wrench to adjust preload for next time. I really like the looks now that the muffler is up out of the way of that nice 8 spoke.

    Looks nice, I have a spare '05 600RR exhaust in the garage too. Anyone have info on what it takes for a left exit exhaust for a 4th Gen?
