Hi everybody this is GooDy again. After I put all my mismatched fairings onto my bike, I started to dress it up a little bit. Just like what everyone else does, this is an easy mod that won’t really hurt your wallet. You guessed it baby, a double bubble windscreen!

It gives your bike a unique look easily. So, once again, thanks to the guys at Lex Racing for this Hotbodies Racing windscreen. It bolts on easily and sure looks better than the stock one.

Well, I’ll leave the look for you guys to decide because everyone has different styles and tastes. Let’s talk about performance for a bit. The big question is this, “Does the windscreen increase the bike’s performance?” My answer is “Yes, if you pick up the double bubble one.”

Hi everyone. GooDy is here again. Today I’ll be talking about the AVS unbreakable levers shipped to us from ASV Levers USA. The ones that I have are the gold color ones. AVS offers three different colors: gold, black and silver.

I have funny thing to ask you guys. How many aftermarket levers in sliver color have you ever seen on bikes? Hahaha, you know what I’m saying? It’s rare right? Who needs stock colored levers when they buy aftermarket ones, right? Plus, these go with the whole color scheme of my Gixxer.

Okay back to the ASV levers. After I put them on, I loved them right away. The wide range of adjustability is amazing. They actually offer around 20 clicks of adjustable positions. Each click is like 1mm of difference. It’s kinda cool to me because I’m a very picky person. I like things just right. When I had CRG’s or Vortex levers on my previous bikes, I felt like the number 3 position was too close, and the number 4 position was is a bit too far.

Hey yo! GooDy is in the house again! Today I am going to show you a new mod on my Gixxer1000 K7. When I got into the office, I received a package from Lex Racing. I opened the box and was confused. I thought, “what the heck is this?” Looks like a mouse! 

Let’s rewind a little bit. A couple weeks ago, I had a conversation with the staff at Lex Racing while Alex was getting his tires changed at Desmoto. They asked me if I forgot to put my mirrors back on after I went to the track and I said no. I told them I just don’t use side mirrors because firstly it is hard to split lanes in city, and secondly most of them only show my elbows or my butt. And of course, thirdly they look like crap!

Then they told me about a new kind of side mirrors that they can order for me. Now here we are! Pig Spotters in the IPM office right now.

At first, I doubted That these things will even work. But I went ahead and installed them in the stock position anyways. I found out I couldn’t see anything! So I moved it around to see where it could work. I ended up mounting them sideways on the edges of the upper fairing like you see in the photo.

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.
