Are you guys for real?! The Panigale has TWO EXHAUST PIPES! One added onto the end of another... how can anything be worse!!! And the second is such a dodgy job... ew ew ew. At least the other look like they're half meant to be there.

But really, who has stock exhausts anyway, you can't judge a bike on it's pipe. Should be chastising the owner of the Gixxer rather than the Gixxer itself imo :3

Which market got the shitty exhaust? My mates 'S' has the bottom exit exhaust

I got mine on Gumtree, 7 grand due to the previous owner not checking the oil and lunching the engine.

I just placed an order for a full Brian Crower 2.3 stroker kit with all parts to rebuild the engine and it only came to $3700. Including the machining I should be able to keep it under $13,000 total cost by my estimates.

Naice! Cheap as chups

What power you aiming for?

Just Japan. Because it's a European manufactured bike their rules aren't as strict as Japanese restrictions, as neither are ours. Hence why Jap bikes look crap all the time because they are designed to stricter rules. And why we can modify them to street legal pipes that improve the look immensely because they are actually a very different design internally.

If no one likes the gauge holder then where should i put oil temp/oil pressure gauges then?

DIN is not an option...

put em on the bonnet like all the cool kids.

what about the drivers side pillar?

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
