welcome mr newbie

brocks are a good choice if you're looking for full exhaust. yoshimura is also a nice can

http://japan.webike.net is also a good place to have a look

isn't it the other quacker riders that are green when they see how beautiful the:mfclap: black and gold

Same as mine bar the indicators and tyre choice ... best colour in my opinion, looks great with a bit of sunshine on it!

Welcome Paul, that's mighty fine clean bike you've got your hands on. A 12r is still one of the best looking bikes in standard spec, even after all these years.
I have a scorpion can, no real performance benefit to shout about but sounds much better :lol:
Another for the 'team green' :thumbup:

Welcome...
You are probably aware, but just incase...
You have what looks like a B2H, a 2003 bike with a 2005 registration date.
Same as mine, 2003 model on a 55 plate.
Nothing to worry about. A great bike in the proper Kawi colour.
The only noticeable difference on the 04 and 05 bikes were radial calipers.
Plenty of threads on here how to do upgrade if it ever bothers you. Those Tokico pots are perfectly good!
Have fun!!!
Shep

Added some black on mine when respraying after a visit into the scenery in Luxembourg, lol

I didn't know that
I can see this been a steep learning curve with this machine
hopefully got a Yoshi end can to put on soon
the honey comb baffle on end of the link pipe does this need cutting out ???

Yes break it out with a old screwdriver and pliers...stick ear muffs on and start bike to blow the crap out :thumbup:

 

[dave zx12r]

Hammer and chisel makes easy work of it
Essential to remove if getting carbon fibre as they go all floppy and sticky before falling apart due to the heat of the cat
I have a pipewerx on my Silver A1, which was originally fitted to my red A1 by me 5 years ago. Still looks like new and sounds good.
I believe they are close to you.
The new latest style Yoshi cans are dead sexy but so expensive .
Good luck with your 12 and good choice

as said but make sure there is nothing behind the bike when starting up as a lot of bits fly out

bike will sound and breath better
