SAE certified power In 2005, the SAE introduced "SAE Certified Power" with SAE J2723.[26] This test is voluntary and is in itself not a separate engine test code but a certification of either J1349 or J1995 after which the manufacturer is allowed to advertise "Certified to SAE J1349" or...

Not saying you're wrong but anyone have any dyno numbers to back this up? From what I understand SAE hp measurements changed around 06-07 to a new system making older hp ratings overstated. This I'm sure applied to new cars and SUVs but i'm not sure if the applied it to motorcycles as well.

i like the gsx1000 looks good. but you can't compare a 2014 gsxr-1000 to an 07 r1, we're talking about a 7 year difference bro lol.

Here is the Givi painted gold on my bike, the 2nd pic ill show you how far they actually stick out. Hope this helps, Cheers!

Yep thats exactly what I had to do. The set comes with a new bolt with a washer locker clip you force into it. The pegs have a really small threaded pin that holds the adjustability in place. You have to make sure to use some thread lock to make sure it doesn't move and for some added...

I have a pair installed on my bike. Bought it on amazon for $100 shipped. Not bad for the price.

They aren't bad. For $99 I didn't expect much. I went for a more aggressive riding position. Dunno how durable they are but they're just temporary. I'll upgrade to Vortex rear sets next year. They have a lot of adjustability but since it uses the OEM mount the shifter and brake are inwards so...

I used a tire paint pen that you can buy at auto stores. They sell them online for much cheaper ~$8-10 bucks. You can find Chinese shippers that will sell them for .99 each but you would probably have to wait 3 weeks.

Tire paint and adjustable footpegs installed

Turning 29 in a little while..got my 8 last July.. pushing a little over 7500 already before the 1 year mark

yea yamahas engine guard is designed like this one where the end comes out straight like a slider. The givi is also aluminum but since the shape is round from where it bolts onto the engine i can only imagin the point of impact would be somewhere in the middle of the tubing
