Made famous by 6-time AMA Superbike Champion, Mat Mladin, the TRC is a race proven exhaust that falls second to none, featuring a Tri-oval design, trick cone-shaped end cap, and an easily removable low-volume insert. Therefore, it’s good enough for Goody’s Gixxer!

This Yoshimura Slip-on system eliminates the stock underbelly muffler by utilizing a single muffler mounted on the right side of the bike. This system achieves a significant 15 pound weight reduction over the stock system, minimizing unwanted weight for the performance oriented rider. Hell yeah! And it sounds like great, baby!

Hi all! It’s me again with an update on my Gixxer1000 K7. As you can tell from the earlier article about my crash, I was in need of new fairings. So instead of calling the stealership, I decided to shop online on eBay and the local online classifieds, Craigslist.

And again, as always, the internet saved my life. I gave myself about a week after I crashed to shop around. Luckily, I found a good deal from a local rider. Actually, it wasn’t really a good deal, but the guy was nice and he let me talk the price down to $740. The guy posted at $1000 for the full set of fairings. Then I called him and asked if he could lower it a bit for a fellow rider down on his luck.

He suddenly said $800 right away, and I was so surprised! Then an hour later, he called me back and said he couldn’t find the fender, which by the way is about $70 brand new. At this point, I didn’t want it anymore considering it’s a 2 hour drive from my place to his. I guess he sensed my hesitation because he offered me $750 + a full tank of gas so I took it.

Hey, how’s it going everybody? You all remember from my last post that I crashed my Gixxer. I am still bruised and sore, but it’s my ego that really bothering me. Anyways, you guys also saw in the pictures that I broke my rearsets. I decided to get aftermaket ones instead of purchasing the expensive stock ones.

So, I was actually looking on eBay for stock replacements when I came across this company called MOTH Racing. They sell CNC machined sportbike products. Their stuff is mostly custom parts for motorcycles, such as rearsets, levers, clip-ons, and suspension adjusters.

I gave them a call and it turns out they are located in Thailand. They sent me a set of rearsets to install and review. I got the gold ones with SATO-style heelplates and Gilles-style footpegs. You can see them in the pictures below.

Hey guys and girls, bad news. Today I went riding around the city with my Gsxr1000 K7, and you’ll never guess what happened. I went down! I am so mad right now, but I want to tell you guys this story so maybe some of you could learn from my mistake. Here’s a picture of the damage before I go on:

It was a really stupid crash. Totally avoidable if I had just been paying better attention to my surroundings. So, I backed into a parking space I had found on the street near my house. Unfortunately, the car that had parked there before me leaked oil onto ground. Since it was 9:30pm, I didn’t see my rear tire sitting in the pool of oil.

After I grabbed a bite to eat, I went back to my bike, put my gear on and fired her up to go. When I took off, my bike slid down to the left. As I went down, my first instinct was to lean the opposite way to try and bring her back up. This forced my wrist to twist the throttle, causing my bike to powerslide into a high side crash. It was only at 10mph, but it cost me dearly. Damn oil!

Good thing I had on my full gear, so there wasn’t too much damage to the goods! Here’s a couple more pictures of my baby after the crash (don’t worry, I’ll spare you the pictures of my damaged goods). So to wrap it up… watch where you park, and please, gear up every time you ride. Stay tuned — I’ll be back as soon as I get the Gixxer patched up. On the bright side, now I have an excuse to spend money on my baby!

Hi guys and gals!! My name is GooDy. It’s an honor to join the IPM team — thanks to all the staff members for the warm welcome. So.. let me introduce myself a little bit. By day, I’m an importer; by night, I’m a street rider. I have brand new 2007 Suzuki Gsxr1000 that is all stock (for now) and below is a picture of my baby in the garage. I have a lot of modification ideas in my head right now and I’ll be more than happy to share them with you as they’re implemented.

I’ve ridden most of the new liters bikes but I didn’t feel comfortable on most of them. From my experience, the 2007 Kawasaki Zx10r gives a lot of top end but is heavy and ugly; the 2007 Honda Cbr1000rr gives the strongest midrange but is a bit dated, and the 2007 Yamaha R1 gives the least power and bring nothing new to the table. The Gixxer was the obvious choice.
