Welllllll..... this has been a lot more agony than it should have been.....

I've been wrestling with what set of killer aftermarket slip-ons to score for my R1 for many weeks now.

After a crapload of research, it came down to two choices: Akrapovic, or Graves Motorsports.

The Akrapovic needs no discussion, they are among the best in the world, and look oh-so totally tits:

Regarding thew Graves systems, anyone who knows anything about Yamaha's AMA Superbike campaign knows that they *exclusively* run the Graves full titanium exhaust systems, which sound about as wicked as it gets at speed:

Neither!! I ordered the Yamaha GYTR carbon fiber slip-ons from my local Yamaha dealer http://www.sunnysidemotorcycle.com, and saved enough over the other two systems to score a PCIIIusb to boot! :D

They should be shipped and arrive by the time I get back from my business trip a week from Monday.... WOO-HOO, can't wait for these babies!!

FAARRCK....nice ones mate....

I love the undertail exhausts for the R1....either way you went, it would have been a good choice

Nice Buddy, nice....good decision considering you can actually map your new pipes.

The Aks would have sounded nice though. Im sure the GYTs sound nice enough though.
