If you are keeping the existing oem exhausts then I used the Dominator de-cat link pipes - $325 on Ebay - https://www.ebay.com/itm/V-MAX-1700-DE-CAT-DECAT-Mid-Link-Pipe-Dominator-Exhaust-Race-2009/282588554767?hash=item41cb97260f:g:J24AAOSwTspc~37B I found the existing straight thro' exhausts...

I just removed the existing bar-end weights and the new mirror bolted straight in on my 2015 model

There was a slight change with the 2015 30th Anniversary edition which came with Akrapovic exhausts as standard.

Again these are universal https://www.ebay.com/itm/Motorcycle-Turn-Signal-Indicator-Adapter-Spacers-Fit-Yamaha-YZF-R6-R1-FZ1/372749429008?hash=item56c998e910:g:jQkAAOSwqF9ZxMXi

These are Yamaha after market indicators with integral brake lights (rear) and daytime lights (front). Although they are listed as other Yamaha models, they are universal, I have them fitted to my vmax...

Ah, got you now! :rolleyes: My bar end mirrors could use the existing insert to bolt to - lucky I guess :D

Looks like another great run from you Farid at 10.61 secs coming first in your category, well done! :D

This is the oem bar end fitted to my 2015 model which just came straight out o_O

Good thinking but no. First pic below is from the US handbook and second is from Euro handbook (taken from different parts of the maintenance schedule), which show both miles and kilometres.

My bar-ends came straight out and I fitted Kuryakyn mirrors in their place.

These Dominator Y pipes are $333 plus shipping. I have fitted them to my standard mufflers, bit fiddly to do which ever system you use but they do fit...

For those who may not be aware, the US version service intervals are 4000 miles but the Euro version service intervals are 6000 miles. Yamaha UK were not forthcoming with a reason when asked why :confused:

Maybe that's why the mileage is low - it has only been ridden in first gear, not realising there are 4 more in the box! :D

I think that is the difference. If you buy a complete headlight where the lens is made for the led bulb then it's a winner but keeping the existing lens and replacing the halogen bulb with an led bulb can never work properly. You may be happy with the result and it will be brighter, but it will...

Not being continued in Europe though due to emission laws because its the same old 10+ years old engine that needs upgrading. See no sign of that happening :(
