Premium Member motomeek Posted December 11, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted December 11, 2015 LOL! I decided not to do the kick plates but the side brackets. Didn't want to deal with wear and tear... I tried it on my other bike (with plastidip) and it came off within a few days of use. Instagram: @meekmade | You don't need to flat foot a bike to ride it.

Global Moderator sorkyah Posted December 11, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted December 11, 2015 I more meant the red bits... but sure kickplates arent worth painting... needs something greatly superior (anodize/powdercoat) ATGATT...

chickenchickendinner Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 I used gloss black paint and so far it's still holding up pretty well. I'll be looking to get the same parts powdercoated in gloss black sometime in the very near future....as for now I still can't make up my mind between the Akrapovic and Two Brothers exhaust ....I think two brothers is the way to go???

chickenchickendinner Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 Akra Carbon, but like Paulie, I'm a bit biased LOL.yeah the Akra carbon looks sick!..but I also like the 2bros lol...hhhmmm.... $90 difference.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator jeffkisthename Posted December 18, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted December 18, 2015 Less people have the 2 Brothers S1R, so if being different is what you like, then 2 Bros. I chose the Carbon, because it was the most throaty sound, and I like the extra loop in the piping, because it adds to the look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctrlsave Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 +1 on either Akra. I personally have the Ti but either is a great choice. I'd throw in Leo Vince if you want to be different but still have a nice throaty sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member xcarbonsteelx Posted December 19, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted December 19, 2015 Another +1 for the Akrapovic Ti. It's what I have on mine and absolutely love it! I also like how it "tucks" away as opposed to other exhaust look like they stick out. - xCarbonSteelx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator sorkyah Posted December 19, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted December 19, 2015 I still believe yoshi is where you should go with it ATGATT... ATTATT, two acronyms I live by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregjet Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I took mine off and for absolutely no good reason made a set of carbon fibre ones. No idea why as they don't actually do anything useful but I was making the extended carbon hugger and thought "what the hell" Go forth and modify my son...go forth and modify...

delbee1 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I was thinking of getting carbon firbre kick plates and frame covers for mine, real carbon fibre ones though not dipped. Also matt and not glossy. I'm still undecided as I may buy new rear sets. Heres the carbon firbre kick plates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holderosa Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 There's also these, a 'cleared' version - http://www.motostarz.ca/filter-by-bike/yamaha/fz-07-mt-07/bestem-usa-carbon-fiber-heel-guards-for-2014-2015-yamaha-fz-07-mt-07.html?___SID=U and I also used the Plasti-Dip spray on the side covers, and it's lasted all last season - minor 'scratches' from shifting, but easily touched up. Black high-heat paint on the rearsets and voila, it's murdered-out black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geebee79 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I see an exclamation point when I look at the side plates. I thought about highlighting that when I paint mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
