You might want to try finding a local agent that writes for Auto Owners insurance. I've got one of their policies on my car and with 2x the coverage and 1/2 the deductables they beat progressive and Geico by $800-1000.

They aren't widely known, but I swear by them.

put some race baffles on that bike, integrated taillights, flushed front blinkers and most important - FRAME and CLUTCH slider.

and wear your damn gear!

let me help you my yamaha brother....

eBay Motors: 2007 2008 Yamaha R1 Race Exhaust Baffle Kit *Baffles* (item 160234886175 end time May-07-08 16:09:27 PDT)

i did mine for my 06 r1 for $63. i just cut my own pipe and bought some packing. sounds nice! beats paying $800 for slipons

for frame sliders, i got the trex sliders made of delrin (acetyl?) oryou can get metal ones too. depends on your budget.

i assuming you have a helmet already. im sure youve seen the last 4 fatality posts involving bikers in biketech not wearing proper gear.

wear gloves too, you dont want ur mom wiping your ass later.

if $130 is too much for u, you can always obtain the parts one by one, it will definitely be cheaper if you dont mind cutting and cursing.

here is a recent fellow who did his, with pictures/tutorial how to dismantle your stock cans. u might have to register in order to see the pictures....

i recently just finished mine and it definitely sounds great, not too loud since i wrapped the baffle too much with packing.
