Just finished running in my GSXR 1000 K7,and am thinking of changing the end cans,for something that looks a bit better than the originals. Is there anybody out there who has already done this? if so what did you fit and why? any pics would be great as well. Many thanks in advance.

Roy,

Sorry can't help, but can I just you a question... Did you have to pay for your running in service?
Yamaha never charged me on the R6, and I rode the Gixer 70 miles to go back to the original dealer and they still charged me £120.

I had to pay for my first service (750-K7), not where I bought it from, but £90 IIRC.

Oh yes. I took the bike back to Taz motorcycles in Peterborough. I live in Bracknell,a 220 mile round trip for me and a bill of 99 quid for my service. If i let them do all the services i will get an extra years warranty. So its a 220 mile round trip twice a year for the next three years for me.

It's got to be Yoshimura on a Suzuki, I think they even do a single sided set up for the K7

My friend has fitted Matt Black Microns to his k7 and they look the t*ts. The sound is strange though. At around 3-5000rpm they give off a low frequency resonance that reverberates round your head. You don't notice it at first but when you realise it is there, you can't help thinking about it. It becomes annoying after a while.

Racefit Growlers look the nuts as well on the k7.
