Over the last couple of weeks I've done all the general maintenence that was somewhat overdue...

K&N air filter
Oil & filter
Front MEZ4 & Rear Dunlop D220 tires
D.I.D. Chain
Topped off coolant

She's running like a champ and the weather is getting nicer day by day (except for today's rain).

Feels good to go into the season fresh.

Turned 20k miles in September, 2008. I'll turn 25k miles by the weekend. Not bad for 2 yrs of ownership.

I simply love this bike...

I like the black paint on the lower cowl. Bike looks great. Except for the tank bra is like so 90's. :biggrin: Happy riding. I'd like to hear what the exhaust sound like.

Nice post, Mine has just turned 20,000 having bought her with 6000miles a year ago.

Nice bike! (apart from the bra) lol

I echo your sentiment, but am curious to know what would make you want to run an MEZ4??

It was probably the free one posted up here I missed by like 2 minutes! *shakes fist* ;p

Does look good, but that bike is kinda turning into a camwh@&e. Get out and ride.

Nice. I like the black paint, too.

I just cleaned and recharged my K&N last weekend. Also washed, detailed and polished the bike. It still looks great but there are a few scratches here and there. Nothing that bothers me much tho.

I'm in my 3rd year of ownership of my '04, and it now has over 30k mi. on it - 26k of that put on by me, myself and I. ;)

BINGO!!!

I used to run MEZ4's on my Ducati 900ss. I actually think it's a fine tire.

Camera whore yes, but trust me; I ride...

:biggrin: Yep, I like it a lot. I painted all the color out of it though. Eventually it'll end up solid flat black...

Sorry Seb, but yes, that's what it WAS. I masked off around the stars and the red line around the helmet. Painted the line flat black and painted the stars w/ the same black metal flake that I used on the lower fairing of the bike. The paint job came out an 8 out of 10, but I did it lazy because from the get go I planned on painting it solid flat black. I'll probably do that in the next week or so.

I was just never a fan of flashy graphics on my helmets. All my gear is black so it will go with any bike I own. But I did feel a little anxious as I first set off with some sandpaper on that beautiful helmet.

Sorry to ruin your day...

Yours is the only exhaust that looks good besides factory. You have a sound clip??
